Was wonder what is everyones Opinion to Sprint Springs. How are they Compared to Stechs and hows the ride and performance???

 

i used to have them on my car, i'd recommend against them. I believe s-techs have a more significant and level drop than the sprints.

i have pics on my homepage

 

Hey larrio would u happen to have any more pics of the sprint springs on your car???? How was the ride and how low was the drop???? Are they Lower then Progress??

 

they are 1.8 fr and 1.8 rears. lower than progress

 

I know whazzzup had them on his car for awhile and he didn't like em. You might PM him and get the whole story.

 

i no im buying them from him just i wanted to get some info on them. I think he didnt like them for the ride I dont mind a harsh ride at all.

 

mine are coming in on tuesday

 

Haha oh I see. Well if you don't mind a harsh ride, go for it. The drop looked awesome on his car.

 

im wondering since im on stock 17's and 235/50 tires will i rub and since his car is heavier then mine will it drop as low??? im hoping for the front to be a bit lower then the back.

 

I'm running Sprints with my stockers and no rubbing occurs.

The drop is perfect IMO but the ride is somewhat harsh.

here's a pic I took just yesterday -

 

^^how long have you had them on??

get them off ebay, a got a great deal from there with free shipping

 

how would you say your ride is???? And how would you compare your springs to Tien Stechs???

 

i got my setup from larrio..

i dont think my ride is that harsh at all.. especially from what i remeber when i had my 95 GLE with eibach drop.. now that was harsh..

these springs give an awesome look.. i woulda gone with the s techs.. but for the price i got mine for.. i cant complain..

 

sprint is lower then stech right?

 

The Tein S-techs give a lower drop than the Sprints.

 

Only in the front. Here was my old setup with Sprints:

 

Not too sure but my best guess is roughly 2 1/2 years.

 

very nice and how is the ride???

 

i was wondering because if you have not had a problem with your struts, then getting new struts to replace the stock ones might not be needed

 

Here are a shot of the springs (10 minutes ago), that are for sale:

 

wow those are some friggin clean @$$ springs...
nujerseydrive - did u use the 5th gen or 4th gen springs with ur cattman modified kyb agx's? i have the same struts, but my 5th gen tein s-tech rear springs don't fit properly on the rear struts, just wonderin...

 

those are my springs heehehe

 

the ride is not harsh, but as with all lowering springs.... you will have harsh engagements because the strut will have less lateral movements in combination with the lowering spring.

sprints are known to drop more in the front than the rear. i guess if you have a system, everything evens out

 

Sprint, S-Techs and pretty much ALL lowering springs suck- they are for looks only. Maxima rear suspension has almost NOTHING for suspension travel. After installing lowering springs you will be riding on bump stops almost all the time. Shocks can only take so much of this and will eventually blow out. Think bout it, if the car has bout 2" of suspension travel (which I doubt it even has), and you lower it 1.5", this only leaves you with .5" of strut travel till it bottoms out. Handling will be terrible, the ride will be terrible, and car will be unsafe. If you wanna lower it right- D2s, Ksports, JICs are your only ways of lowering a Maxima. BTW I got the 2" of travel as a guess- B14 Sentras/200SXs have only 1.5" of travel and they pretty much have identical suspension design to our A33 Maximas, beam is just a little bit larger but everything else is almost identical.

 

very nice cars.

 

I got rid of my stockers a long time ago. Got the 4th Gen Sprints mated with 4th Gen KYB AGX's that were modified by Cattman to bolt onto the 5th Gen.

 

Sup man...long time. See above.
