Lowering springs

I found a spring company called sprint, they have a 1.8 drop
I would like to know if this is a good company.

If you trim your bumpstops the Sprint springs will last for a long time. I've had mine on the OEM struts and shocks for over a year. Pics are on my homepage and we carry these springs as well.

I'm too old for that stiff of a ride. They look great and Everyone has their opinion. I was not happy with the ride and my wife refused to ride in my car until I got it fixed. It also got to the point where I hated driving my car. New struts might have helped some, but I still think they were too rough.

It rides different when cutting the bumpstops. With Sprint springs you MUST cut the bumpstop on OEM struts or the ride will in fact suck. I've been in a maxima with sprints and no cut bumpstops and the ride was terrible, no way I could live with that.
