sitting a lil lower now

I installed my sprint springs this afternoon and took a few quick pics with my trusty iPhone...that's why the quality isnt stellar but good enough!




I distorted a persons image in this b/c they didnt want there pic posted.



I'll have take better pictures later on with a camera and when my car isnt so filthy. lol. Lemma know what ya think.

Thanks for the comments so far. And yeah, I know my headlights need to be cleaned up, lol. It weird tho the right/passenger side one is always worse than the drivers side.

Thanks to all Ugh, I almost hate to admit but, I am actually on OEM struts. I got them as a set and it was loaded, so all I had to do was swap one out for the other. The ride is alot better than I thought it'd be, firm but not bouncy. Every once in awhile I'll hit a gap or sewer cover and that can be kinda jarring. After these struts blow, which they will lol, I have to upgrade. It's a 1.8" drop front and rear, pretty even...one finger gap up front and almost a finger gap in the back.

Nice to see someone else on here with a 5- 5.5 gen that has sprint springs. Rhyno, hahaha your struts will be gone in less than six months, mine were. once you get some illuminas it will feel even better. now you just have to do the rear beam re-center and it will feel even smoother.

thats what i went with. they get a so so rap around here. i think there are others such as the koni yellow. i dont really now what else there is but i wish bilstein or some of these other shock manuf. made stuff for or car. i can tell you w/ the illuminas i have them set now at 3/3 then at 4/4 when its nicer and in the winter i set them around 2/2 sometimes 1/1. i notice they def react to the different temps. 2/2 in the winter feels like 3/3 in the spring. i also like how the sprints give the car a nice drop but even with minor pot holes i hit the bump stops. i hit 2 pretty good ones this winter and will need an alignment. i swerve at all the cracks an potholes
