Sprint Springs...Are they too rough for daily driving?

I want sprints because they're cheap and have a great drop, but I'm worried about them making my ride too rough since I'm a daily driver. What do you sprint guys think?

If you are worrying about the ride being rough, none of the lowering springs are for you. Stick with oem spring/struts.

I enjoy my sprint springs but my girlfriend isn't a huge fan. The drop is sporty but they are a little rough.

It depends on where u live, I drive to college and work and friends house all the time on my INtax spings (1.7 drop) and its fine down here in Atlanta, but if u live where there are many rough roads just upgrade to a good set of Shocks when u put springs on like Koni Yellows, Kyb Agx, Tokico Illuminas........

I don't think my Sprints ride too bad. On the rougher roads, you can definately feel them though. As everyone above me stated, it depends on your road conditions. For me, most of the roads are not bad at all so I don't mind the rough ride occasionally.

Later,
