Sprint springs and KYB GR-2 combo, anybody?

[AaronGAGT]

My suspension is a mess and I'm on a budget. I'm sure people have this setup... I'd just like to hear some reviews from the board. Any problems? I read somewhere that after a few thousand miles that the ride turned really bad, anyone else have this problem?

kybs are like an oem swap, but have a bit better rebound than stock

sprint will slam your car at about 3" when they settle

[AaronGAGT]

3 inches?!?! You're telling me that the drop doubles after a couple weeks?!

[GtAudioFreak]

I have intrax with Kyb gr2's and had them for a few months now and still work awesome. Intrax is rated to drop 1.7 inches, but Im sure Ive dropped more than that also.

i had Sprint on my 96...and it settled an extra 1' after a few months

[GtAudioFreak]

If this helps at all, if I woulda thought about it I should have done comparison shots for before and after

sprint is rated at about 2" before settling... so after, you are looking at a 3" slam

Yup Sprint and Intrax are the lowest springs out there. KYB's seem to be the overall choice for shocks/springs with lowering springs

just to clarify, they're rated at 1.6"F/1.5"R thats why i was a bit shocked that the drop doubles after settling. Maybe they're cheap

Just remember,what some companies say doesn't mean thats exactly what its going to sit at.

I got them because I knew they would settle the lowest. They ARE NOT CHEAP. I paid 350 bucks through a company I was friends with to have the springs installed.

If don't want to settle that low,go with some Eibachs,even those will settle a little more than what is said.

Where did you get the H&R from?? I wanted to get sprint but they settle way too much for the future life of the car.
