I had a quick search but couldn't find much in reviews, apart from some people finding them too hard on certain shocks.

Are they any good? Their website doesn't give much away.

I'm thinking about putting them on Bilstein "Sprint" shocks, lol



Thanks

 

i have a set of Sprint lowering springs on Tokico HP sturts and they run smooth...!!!

 

nice man! nice sedan too

do you have the 3.5" or 2.5" ones?

im looking at 2.5" (60mm) for my EE9, but ive also read people find they drop less than stated.


marc

 

those appear to be the 2.5 inch drop. the 3.5 inch lowering springs that sprint offers come in green.

 

Thanks man...they are the Sprint 1000 lowering springs with a 2.50F and 2.25R drop...!!!

 

Dope, you bought them. Here are the extreme versions (3.25"/3.0"). Soft and smooth ride, not recommended for track use.

 

i picked them up on sunday but haven't installed the fronts yet only the rears...!!!

 

I ran this set up on my last EF hatch the ride was great. it was a fun daily set up.

 

got sum SPRINTS for sale run real smooth. put a set of SPRINTS on my dads accord

 

which struts would you guys pair the 3" drop ones with?

 

You'll need something like Koni Sports to properly handle a 3" drop. Tokico HP's will not work well and the car will probably bottom out all the time.

 

i can tell by the winding those rates are not that firm. what a poorly designed piece. 3" drop and mild rates. talk about a header - oil pan killer.

 

i like your stance

im considering ordering these

what tire size are you running just as an idea to what my gap would look like?

 

nice looking drop on both cars ! i think sprint does a good job with 1/4 lower in front.

 

Nope not firm at all, soft and comparable to Eibachs. You have to remember that the engineering for these were done years before the issues with headers and swaps in "slammed" cars were abundant. They were made to give a soft ride at a low stance (for cars at the time which were near stock) and have done so successfully. Low headers and swaps werent an issue until their popularity arose after the springs were designed and produced.

Im running stock everything under the hood, the suspension will bottom out/upper arms will contact the chassis way before the oil pan reaches the ground. Of course with a swap or even 4:1 header it will be a different story.

185/60/14, fronts rub the fender on turns, rears rub the top of the fenderwell on big dips... just a couple issues youll have right off the bat.

well said

i didn't even consider this angle when i made my comment

 

Someone explain this to me please. With a 3" drop, the front suspension has VERY little room to compress. If these springs have so-called "soft" rates, then how could the ride possibly be smooth? To have a smooth ride would mean the suspension isn't bottoming out, and with that much of a drop on "soft" rates, I would think the suspension would bottom out ALL the time, giving anything but a smooth ride.

 

I agree, "smooth" and "soft" may be contradicting terms. What I meant was, in comparison to higher rated springs, the rebound with the Sprints are not as quick or stiff. They also are not so soft that it consistently bottoms out. Only when head on with larger dips would the issue of bottoming out arise. On average sized dips there is enough suspension travel to contain the impact, at least with my setup.

Both low and high rated springs have their version of discomfort when head on with disturbed pavement, even when matched with properly valved shocks. "Soft" was the description I gave the Sprints as opposed to "hard" for higher spring rates. I was simply describing the feel of a ride based on a spring's recovery speed and level of intensity between different rates.

As far as the term "smooth", its all relative to an individual's perception of comfort. Hard+smooth vs. soft+smooth... all can be contradicting terms but can also be used to loosely describe the feel of a ride.

 

im running 195-50-15 so i should be fine with tire clearence

and my driving style isn't extremely aggressive

i guess ill be ordering these within the next few paychecks

anyone got a good site they ordered theirs off of?

on ebay they want like 200 but i saw other places but want to know of one thats reliable

thanks

 

are integra and civic 2.5 sprint springs the same spring rate? i thought they were the same part number.

 

I have the green springs on my crx which is a 3" drop in the front and 3.5 in the back if I recall. I have tokico illuminas and it only bottoms out in the front over really bad potholes.

 

I'm lookin at their sport springs for my DA Teg'. They say 2" all the way around. Anyone have any pics of them?
