Pictures taken are of my '96 SE back on July 10, 2000 after being on my car for about a week.
These pics were kept under wraps and taken only for Sprint's R&D benefit... But now everyone can see how these prototype Sprints look on my car.

Hey Nabil...

Is that a 2 inch drop? Looks subtle, how's the ride? How hard was the alignment? thanks.

A bit dark to see how big the wheel gap is. A picture like this might help.

Is it me or does the back look a lot higher? Maybe it supposed to be like that, I might be just used to my heavy *** box in the trunk, and the car sitting very low in the back.

Ok folks... Keep in mind the pics are of my prototype springs... Also, the car wasn't sitting on level ground. Nevertheless, those prototypes do give it a ready-to-pounce stance which is very aggressive even when standing still.

I was told that Sprint liked this aggressive stance on my car and wanted to keep it in for the production sets, although I haven't installed my production set on my car to know for sure if they stuck with that idea.

As for the ride, these prototypes are even stiffer than my original Eibach springs, and have proven to be good on the track as I had the opportunity to run the car at Buttonwillow Raceway Park http://www.buttonwillowraceway.com on August 28th on configuration #13 CCW and where I duked it out with a Type R with coilovers the first session of the day driven by a seasoned driver/instructor and held my own nicely, which made me very proud as I consider myself a novice on that 3-mile track.

As for camber kits, yes you will need one for the fronts. However, I went another route to correct the camber at my local alignment shop http://www.fostertire.com and the guy modified my strut housings to correct for the camber variation. And they did an awesome job!!!
