I LOVE my Sprint/AGX combo!

Chi99Limited (Adam) and I installed my Sprints and AGXs last night...man do I love the drop....and the ride...I have the AGXs set on 2 in the front and 4 in the back...I'll screw with them more later....but 2 and 4 is PERFECT for everyday driving...not harsh at all...and the handling it amazing...except for the fact that my back end seems to want to sneak out every once in a while....could this be due to my Addco RSB being adjusted wrong???

Oh well...I LOVE the setup!!!

Glad to hear it. So I take it another satisfied Sprint customer?

BTW My back end spins out everyone in a while too (yes I have the Addco RSB as well). I think that's what the RSB is there for. To reduce the chances take the RSB off, but overall I'm sure you know handling will decrease.

Welcome to 2 inch drop club. Looks nice and rides normal if you ask me. The thing is that now my car looks like I have sprints since I reversed the perch that my springs sit on the correct way. Now I have a 3 finger fenderwell gap. I might have to fix that tomorrow lowering that perch to the lower setting on my rear Konis.

I installed my Sprints today and I also love them. I have the AGX's on the same settings, and the ride is perfect. I have no noise, and it's just awesome. I much happier now than I was with the coilovers.

Later,

The problem I had with the coilovers was the ride. I had it set too low so the ride was kind of bouncy. I don't really need the adjustability, so I decided to switch to Sprints and I like them better so I'm selling the Coilovers now.

I have the Koni/Sprint combo. I had 2 coils cut off the rear Sprints. Now the car sit pretty even all around. Very nice.

Hmm, pretty interesting. Guess Sprints are best for me, as I am purposely looking for springs that are higher in the rear then the front. This is cause I carry extra weight (stereo equip and trailer hitch) and sometimes tow a trailer. Funny part is my intrax on my old camry had the rear sit higher then the front, and after it settled with the additional weight it worked great.

Question though-is the stiffness difference between front and back balanced well? Meaning that is the front more stuff then the rear? I know its probbly hard to tell seeing how the shocks are adjustable.

Yes the back is softer then the front with sprints KYB setting. I have the setting on 2 and 5. Its good for me.
