Anybody here with the Sprints that can help me out, just need some feedabck regarding the drop, ride quality and any other things about them. Do they drop the max lower than the Intrax springs?

I currently have the H&R/Tokico setup and im not happy with the drop i have. I get asked all the time if my car is lowered and that really pisses me off. So id like to get some springs that will drop the max more than my H&R's.

Thanks in advance for any sugestions and help!

Yes, they will drop it lower than the H&R. But, whereas the H&Rs seem a little lower in the back, the Sprints seem a little higher in the back. It's fine for me, but some people dont like it. The front is very low. They also ride harder than the H&R, but not disagreeably so. This hard ride does include much less body roll in turns though. I would recommend them.

I'd go with the sprint springs, I had the intrax and I'd say they both drop the car the same even though the sprints are supposed to drop the car 2". the back end will look like it is saging with the intrax also.

i would keep the h&r's.....

i mean im not really that satisfied with the front drop either but if you get the sprints then you have the opposite problem you have now. the back is higher than the front. the only thing you could do is buy sprints and keep the h&r's in the back.... the handeling might feel wierd but it would be low. I like the ride quality with the h&r's though... thats my .02

Ben,

Car looks good. I can't really tell if the rear is a tad higher, but I don't care either. I hate that rear sag look anyway.

the sprints are great. the back will settle, but will be higher than the front due to the cut of the fenders (how many times do i have to repeat that? huh..)

the eibachs/h&rs will lower the back but you'll get a really bad sag look if you overload the trunk....

imho. you want lowering just for looks? get the Ground Control springs and request lower spring ratingings that default...

if you want some great handling springs, then. eh. u pick. eibach, sprint, or stiffer gc's...

You've only said it about a dozen times! That's not enough
