Sprint Lowering springs
1.75" front and rear drop
are they alright or is that too much of a drop?

I really want like a 1.4" drop in front and like a 1.0" drop in the rear....


EIBACH Pro-Kit Coil Springs sells for $219 on hopupracing.com and the drop is 1" all around.

Give me your thoughts. Thanks..

I dropped my car 1.25" with my wings west gfx kit so I'd have no problem dropping it even more if I didn't have gfx.

what about sprint lowering springs...ever heard of em?

NoRiceInside

yeah i've heard of em. i'm planning on getting some real soon. you saw em on ebay right? i'm gettin em cuz theyre only 100 bucks and lower the ar 1.75 inches! yeeha! but yeah i talked to someone who had em and he said they actually ended up lowering it closer to 2 inches and the ride is great, not as harsh as he'd thought.

TheBlackDragon

yea for that price its worth it...i hope it doesnt rub tho...and what about installation...is it hard do you know?

NoRiceInside

the rear is cake, you dont even need spring compressors. however the front blows. you gotta pull the spindle and the upper a-arm off, then pull the shock assembly apart with the springs compressor. heres a walkthrough:

thanx bro...im gunna buy the sprint lowering springs later on tunite.

NoRiceInside

cool now i can see how they work before i buy em

using just lowering springs alone will hurt your ride, it's only half the job

NoRiceInside

yeah you should get some LCA relocation brackets and an adjustible panhard rod to help with wheel hop

NoRiceInside

i'm brain farting, what else arch

archemedes

spindles it's the front that has the issues

Panhard bar won't help with wheel-hop...the LCS brackets take care of that. The panhard bar just recenters the rear end.

I am not sure about the sixers but I know on my car when I went to get it alignment they got it close but couldn't get it perfect because of the lowering springs, and those were on the Pro-kit.

Also I really doubt that he lowered the car almost 2" and didn't lose any ride quality...

NoRiceInside

yeah he probably was lying
