I've never heard of them, and they've never been mentioned around the 240 crowd, so they probably suck. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Plain and simple.

I've heard sprint's okay, but they lower the car considerably more than most others and they are supposedly a bit too soft. You're going to have to get some pretty stiff shocks to compensate. This is only what I've heard though. Hope this helps.

i have the sprint springs and sprint has been around for a while.....
i dug out an old SCC magazine from 1997 when i was cleaning and sprint did have springs for the 240sx back then....
they r not stiff and rides kinda comfortable..... but i dont know abt being too soft but yeah i think they could be stiffer..... but i got AGX shocks and my suspension is pretty stiff.....
and once i got my 18s i thank god it wasnt stiffer

I've heard they're comparable to eibach sportlines as far as ride and lowering go... for whatever that's worth to ya <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

sprint springs ride very comfortable. I have had these springs for over 3 years now. &nbsp;Still good, not soft but not too hard. &nbsp;Good for everyday driving.
