If you have sprint springs and a body kit then please reply with pics and impression about bottoming out and scraping. Is it too low?

P.S. if you don't have this setup then please don't try to answer.. I know everything possible about the combo except for the impressions of actual owners.

Drive the max like if you were driving your buddy's Honda Civic Si with coilovers. Go 45 degrees againest all steep ramps and speed bumps. Yes, you will scrap but you will get used to it. Check my site for pictures.

i don't have the sprints but i do have the H&R's minus one coil which is about the same drop i think. The front lip sits about 4 inches from the road and it is possable to avoid most scrapings if you do what 1MAX2NV said

the amount of roll on the car is very little.

the car handles like a dream on corners and sharp turns. i love it.
coupled with the konis. it is THE sport tuned suspension right now. imho.

if you're worried about bumbiness, then i'd avoid the sprints. they are bumpy when it comes to uneven roads, but i'm used to it...

you'll like it.

thanks... but what do you think about the height? is it too low (so that you scrape a lot) or with care do you avoid scraping?
