BEFORE I BUY EIBACH vs. SPRINT

Before I finaliza my purchase does anyone have any good argument for or against either one. I think that I am going with the Sprints?

Get the sprints, I dont have anything agaisnt the Eibachs but the sprints spring rate is just as high and will lower the car more. If you want it a bit more stiff and lower take a look at Teins. PM maxracer27 if you choose to go with the Teins, but if the sprints are your choice hit up Alex at www.southwestautoworks.com Ive dealth with both and have no complaints.

Im guessing he wants a higher spring rate Maxspeeds and H&R are I belive the softest of them all and provide minimal drop. I think the maxspeeds are the softest ones. No matter what spring you go with its gonna be stiff as hell the first week until they settle in and you wont mind after that. It took about 5 days until my Teins settled but I think I had a sezure while I was driving the first day due to the Teins, but its alot smoother now and I havnt scraped yet even though I have the bodykit. So you guys dont have anything to worry about.

Yea when I first starting driving I dropped a crappy Mustang GT 1996, you talk about having the crap beat out of you. Try lowering acar with a poor ride to start with!

i think i'd rather get the eibachs because it gives more of an even drop, they drop lower in the front than in the back

Same with Teins. 2.2 in the front and 1.6 in the rear. I meausured the clearance from the fender to the ground last week and it measured 25.5" in the front and 25.75" in the rear.

Tein, JIC, Gorund, and Sprints are number one to me..

Eibach, Maxspeed, H&R and Progress are suck because it dont lower the Maxima enough..

Oh WEll!!!

Just because YOU don't like them it does not mena they suck. I am perfectly happy with the ride height and stiffness of my Eibach springs. They were everything I expected and exactly what I wanted.
