If you just want springs (meaning no coilovers), Sprints are the only way to go. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they are still on national backorder after several months.

AGX's are the adjustable struts you should get...there are koni's but descussions on this board have concluded that AGX's are better...H&R's will be 1.5 Eibachs will be 1.8 and Sprints will be about 2...Im gettin eibachs which are a harsh ride...H&R's will be the softest (closest to stock) ride.

What! Sprints are STILL on backorder!?!?

They've been on backorder since last July!

I bet they're not being made anymore.
Now I'm not so sad I spent so much money on mine!

Oh...I've got Sprints on 18's, and I love them.

i just called my local speed shops here in utah and they both told me that they could get sprints in 3-5 days for 164.00 but one shop did tell me sprints are garbage....he said yeah nice drop 2 " and all but after 2-3 months the ride will be so bouncy i would blow my stock shocks so i opting for the h&r's just wating to see if either shop will work with me on prices.......so im still gonna be 4X4 it for atleast a month or two.....im rollin on 235/40zr 18's so i am right there with the rest of ya's that im worried about tire rub....

any way you go, it would be better to upgrade your stock shocks anyways, because with any drop, the stock shocks aren't designed for it, so they will begin to wear out a lot faster, just some will last longer than others...but you'll probably be better off changing both springs and shocks at the same time, to save on labor costs

the AGXs that were mentioned before are STRUTS...shocks...they are adjustable in the sense of ride quality...they can be set stiff or soft

I'm planning B&G springs with AGX shocks. will drop me about 1"6. if you go below 2", you'll need camber bolts or plates.

They will give you a lower drop than the Eibachs and a smoother ride quality.
