What Is Your Guys Opinion On Sprint Springs? Reliable/Good?

I am looking to drop my car a bit, i dont like the gap in the wheel well and, i was also wondering if it would give me better handling. I dont like the way the maxima handles too much. What do you guys think of spring springs are they good springs? Do you think it will imporove handling. But in general what do you think of the comapny and springs?

I had these springs for a while. They look great and handle even better! They were wonderful...but, the ride was really harsh. If you live in an area with bumpy roads, be prepared to feel every one.

sprint springs have a 2" drop which is too much for the front suspension of a maxima. i would not drop a max lower than 1.7", unless you just don't care about the ride or your car. unless you live in an area where you don't have any pot holes.

thats why i went with apex springs, they lower the car 1.6" which is not to hard on the front suspension. sprint springs are made in the u.s.a so they save money on importing them in but they are made with little money. thats why you see them on e-bay and other website for $109- $129. i have seen them as low as $89 for a civic. good luck on your springs.

I guess they are reliable since the springs didn't snap in pieces. I had the OEM, Intrax and now the Sprint. The OEM was nice and soft. Between the intrax and sprint...both feels the same to me. For the price, you can't beat Sprint.
