Another happy owner of sprints!

Today I decided it was time to lower the car, the tool for the job: Sprint lowering springs. I am incredibly happy with the way it turned out, my only wish is that I had my rims, but those should be here soon enough! The guys at Southwest Autoworks have worked their magic once again, special thanks to Steve and Alex for their quality products, and Matt for his amazing install job. Thanks again guys...

Measured from bottom of front tire to fender well: 25.5 inches
Measured from bottom of rear tire to fender well: 24.5 inches

My heavy audio equipment is to blame for the car sitting lower in the back, but oh well...

Sprint and Southwest Autoworks

Good to hear from another person w/sprint springs. Did you change shocks/struts as well?

Nope, rollin on the stock ones for now, they are both brand new from the accident, at least that is what I've been told. I had Matt check them out and they both looked good!

Nice If the ride gets too harsh though, I'd upgrade the shocks/struts as well. (adjustables seem to work the best) Don't know how long the stock shocks/struts would hold up being compresed that much. Helps out that there new, in any case.

Install through southwest is usually around $120 but what I was charged is a secret.

$120?!?! I know that you probably didn't pay that much but that is an awesome price. I paid $300 to get my shock/struts/springs put on. Man, i'm jealous.

By the way, did you get everything sorted out in the car(electrical stuff) after the accident?

Pretty much, but as everyone said, the car will never be the same.

Crap, I didn't know you just got them yesterday. For some reason I thought you had the springs before the accident.

BTW, I decided to get a router. Let me know when you are available to set me up brotha.
