Tein S vs Sprint springs - Vendor Recommendations

I want to get a set of Tein S springs, but I can't find anywhere that has them for my 2k max at a decent price.

Where do you guys get yours from? I am almost considering getting a cheap pair of Sprints off ebay just to have something.

Any vendor recommendations?

THanks!

Hm. The Tein's drop the Maxima so nicely. But the Sprint's are so much cheaper too. Decisions, decisions.

You can also PM Maxracer27 for the Teins thats who I got mine from for under $180 to my door. Hes like 20miles away from me so shipping wasnt an issue. Sprints are also an excellent choice as steve mentioned get those from SWA. Btw the teins are really rough the 1st 5 days til they settle. When I say rough I mean sezure causing rough so dont be surprized. Avoid pot-holes at all cost, but after the 5 days are done they are pretty smooth and pretty damn low.

Ok what mean by smooth is this. They are not stiff enough for me. On flat surfaces and roads that have no potholes, ect... they are not up to par with as stiff as id like them to be. If you hit a pothole or a sharp dip it hits pretty hard, it feels like your dash is shaking it hits so hard. Under normal driving conditions though they got alot, and I mean alot smoother from what they were the first week. Ive had them on for less then 2 weeks and I think its kinda wierd. Not sure if this is being caused becasue of the springs, or the Toks I have. Worst comes to worst ill just get the JIC coilovers later on this year.
