Nick,

I Think your right look at the model numbers for both:

Sprint=Model 9500 Retail Price 264.00
DZ=Model 9500 Retail Price 264.00

anyways I ordered a set from Alex he said he got 2 in today and since I been with him ever since waiting on sprints I'll just go with these.. he did tell me he measured his old sprints with these and they are PHYSICALLY the same size... I will take pics as soon as I think their settled and post them.. and also tell you guys about the ride.

Damn...
So let me get this straight - I paid more for Sprints, which have a smaller drop, ride the same, and don't look as good (kinda goes hand in hand with the bigger drop). Now I want the DropZones!

True...
Sprint Performance Suspension is a VERY well known manefacturer, and for all we know that pic could be photoshopped or a car with 19"s.

Which means the drop will be the same and they will sit unlevel like Sprints. Why can't ONE company create a 2" drop thats level!!

Not quite... you see those pics Sprint max posted I talked to the guy that owns that max he told me they sit pretty leveled (as you see in the pic) and ride pretty damn good.. so if anything their like the second batch of sprints maybe a fix ??

So the blue Max photo insert in your post is not Photoshop-ed in any way?

What is the size of the wheels/tires pictured?

And those are Drop Zone springs?

Thanks.

Sprints are still the lowest even if they do sit unlevel!

Sprint and DZ probably are made by the same company...I was actually thinking that for a while. I've got a set of red coated "Sprints" from Alex back in the spring. As far as I'd known, Sprints are blue...

So I'm thinking that a very feasible way that I ended up with red "Sprints" is:
1.) If the company making Sprints also made DZ's
2.) They sent the wrong color to Alex, who sold them to me.

you buy springs used with 2k miles. course they sit low right away.
you brother buy brand new springs with 0 miles. course they sit high.

solution: let settle. then compare.

prices
last time I checked Southwest auto works sells the dropzone springs for $135 shipped and the sprints for $149 shipped, so if they're the same springs I'll same myself $14 and go with the dropzone springs.. He also said the the sprints should be back in stock later this week, but he already has the dropzone springs in stock now.

Yup.

I'm tired of waiting for Sprints.. Alex has already sent my order out I should be getting the Dropzones Friday... I'll let it settle for about 2 weeks then take pics of them next to my friends max with Sprints. but I'm telling you their the same.
