I have a 92 240 and I found a group buy for sprint springs for $152 shipped from advanced imports. How good are the springs and is this a good deal???

If you read my other post about suspension it says some stuff about not lowering anything past 1.8". Spring Springs lower the 240 1.8" F&R. I don't know what the spring rate is so I cant tell you how stiff or soft they are. Its a great price but I would rather wait for a Eibach Group Buy and get the ProKits that Lower the car 1.8Front/1.6Rear so you don't get any rear end sag. If anyone knows anything about these springs feel free to educate me!

The sprint springs aren't progressive nor have a high spring rate @ 180 compared to eibachs 130ish to 210 ish.
I'm getting suspension techniques...
the drop is 1.3 in, so I don't wipe out pulling into McD's,
and have a whopping 230lbs spring rate...

In my opinion, wait for eibach or ST's... nothing else.

Eibach's would be my preference. stock s13 spring rate are...

102 Front and Rear
110 Front and Rear with HICAS

I have the 5Zigen Springs that arent made anymore and they are damb stiff... and I wouldnt have it any other way <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

5Zigen R-Rate - 1.3&quot; Front/1.1&quot; Rear Drop
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Front: 134 - 290 lb/in &nbsp;(2.4-5.2kg/mm)
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Rear: &nbsp;106 - 279 lb/in &nbsp;(1.9-5.0kg/mm)

Eibach ProKit &nbsp;1.8&quot; Front/1.6&quot; Rear Drop
