Sprint is an American outfit producing aftermarket sport springs for lowering. Does anyone have experience with these springs? Are they any good?

Also, can any of you who have a 1.5" dropped Accord display or send me pictures. I would like to see how much of a drop it makes. My car rides really high and perplexed to its normalcy.

I am in process of getting Koni Sport (Yellows)

ive never heard of sprint. i wouldnt go cheap on springs or struts with any car. id go with a semi stiff spring and adjustable struts. (eibach pro kit:1.75 drop, and kyb agx struts) i havent had any probs with that setup. althou my friend has neuspeed springs with kyb non-adjustable struts and his ride is too soft

 

is it a progressive or linear spring rate? and what size are they?

 

Sprint declare the springs are progressive and the best on the market. Not too much detail about rates and such. Questionable?

 

i have driven a 240sx with sprint on it, not too bad a ride. they had about 5k miles on them.

 

progressive spring rates means the top of the spring is a lower weight than the bottom of the spring so it takes 100 lbs of pressure to compress the top coil but takes 250 lbs of pressure to compress the bottom coil, it isn't the best setup for performance, just a comfortabke ride

linear springs mean the rate is is consitent throught the whole spring, so it tkaes the same amount of pressure to compress the top coil as it does the bottom

 

VERY. I run them...the dark blue ones, but I'm trying to decide on replacements.

 

do you really think theyre gonna tell you that theyre garbage, or are they gonna tell you that they are the best thing for your car?

I'm using Sprint springs (2.25 drop) and Tokico Blues. It's a good drop, rides great also.
