Sprint Springs, any opinions?

I had looked at them about 4 yrs ago, I was thinking of buying them, but being in school I never had the cash to. Now I'm thinking along the lines of Tien S-Techs

Junk from what I've read. No personal experience w/ them though. Tein S-Techs all the way! Smoooooooth as butter.

The Tein S-Tech springs are just that: "Street-Tech"... it is a VERY smooth ride, not 'racey'... also the drop is only about 1-1.5" or so i believe. Basically, if you are looking for handling, like auto-cross or something, or drag racing, then the S-Tech springs won't give you the best of any world... but for a 100% street driven car, the S-Techs are nice.

As for the Sprint, well... i have no idea where they are made.... lol. I'd personally go for a nice set of coilovers.

And the used shocks? Well, be very weary of used shocks... on a shock, abuse can be cleaned off (oil leak, etc), and you won't know until you go to use them.

sorry to kinda hi-jack this, but, Composimo, would you recommend them for a weekend/nice day car that is autocrossed? I'm really not looking to trailor the car in, so I don't want some hardcore race springs(coil-overs), nor can I afford them right now. Or would a spring like the H&Rs be better? my former roommate had them on his rex, 2" drop and a decent, yet slightly bouncy ride, for using stock shocks.

rex2nr: Well, considering you can autocross 'anything', i'd say sure, why not? You will sacrifice performance at the autocross in exchange for a more comfy ride on the street. If that is an agreeable sacrifice, then sure, why not?

However, i do suggest that you do not put any aftermarket spring on a stock shock. The S-Tech is pushing it, but it can be done i suppose, but anytime you increase the spring rate without increasing dampening to be able to control the spring, you will get more bounce, and it won't be a very fun (or good handling) ride.

hey, that was my former roommate, and another reason I haven't done springs yet

I have a set of Tokico HPs with the Tein S-Tech springs. I don't autocross or race my car, it's strictly a street car, and the springs definitly get a thumbs up from me!

Good spring for the price.

Are those the same as Sprint?

no, the tiens were just a suggestion

Oh ok. I plan on getting Ground Controls, I just wanted to know if the Sprints were any good, if I buy the package from this guy I'll either sell them or give them to a friend of mine with an EF.

For the longest time I've been planning on the Eibach Pro-kit and Tokico Illuminas. But from reading here and thinking more about it, I'm considering the Ground Control coilovers and KYB AGX shocks.

JonnyBlack - Could you explain why you would go with the KYB's instead of the Tokico's?

Also, how is the ride quality on the Ground Control's vs just a normal spring setup like the Eibach Pro-kit or Sportlines?

I had a set on my car for about 3 years. A little stiff but no big deal. I pulled them off my car about Nov. I was told my car was to low and was causing axle problems. Come to find out it was the tranny rebuild. Anyways. I had a set and then went to a set Eibach's, no real difference. If you want they are still sitting in my garage. Just let me know.

Seriously? Sending a PM now.

They are Sprint springs. Note topic.
