I'd stay away from the Spring Springs if I were you. I had a terrible experience with them, and after a year of hitting bump stops and the springs sagging, I went with H&R Sport springs. They dropped me quite a bit. However, if you want to just get a subtle drop and stiffen up your ride, go with the H&R OE Sports. They drop you a little less than an inch. You can get them on groupbuycenter.com for about $150 shipped.

i went with H&R sports, and koni yellows, added some neuspeed sway and strut tower bars and love the ride, its like 1.5in drop in the front and 1.75in rear, and with the adjustability of the dampers i can tailor the ride for city or road

I ran the dark colored Sprints before on my 4th Gen sedan..the ride pretty much sucked and it was hard to go over stuff. I scraped on practically EVERYTHING. I feel the same way about Sprint. I've been told by my former favorite shop in Sylmar that Sprint is the best **** made....I said what about Neuspeed or H&R? They said that N/S and H&R pale in comparison to Sprint. Needless to say I haven't returned to that shop in YEARS. I might go w/ the H&R or Neuspeed sport set...then get KYB AGX's???

You can get the konis for $500 - $550 - http://www.tornactive.com Prokit will be about $150 - $180 - check ebay. No idea what installation would be since I DIY'd mine.

Hey, that's great if you had a good experience with Sprints. I'm just relating my experience with them. I tend to hear lots of complaints about Sprints.
