first to put on Sprint Sprngs? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*drifterx* · 07-22-2001, 09:59 AM

i finally put in the Sprint springs in my car... it does not lower it too much.... u can barely tell, however the spring was alot shorter than the stock one.... the ride is like stock almost... but i dont know if that is cause i have AGX adjustable.... i started setting the front on 2 out of 1 softest- 4 hardest, and the rears at 5 out of 1-8 (soft to hard)... it felt like stock.... then i changed it to 3 and 7... now i can fell the lttle bumps and some of them hurt but it is not too stiff like other springs i been in.....
i somehow need to take a pic for u all to see the height....
i dont bottom out like my friend's cars when they pull in my driveway (my driveway is up a curb that is like 2 to 2 1/2 inches high)
So am i the first on the forum to put them in?
PLUS I LOVE MY CROSS DRILLED ROTORS WITH metalic pads

i have sprint springs and kyb agx's too. after 2 months your car will be at it's lowest. i have mine always set at 4 in the front, 8 in the back. hehe. but on long trips it's always 1/1.

yep <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> but hey. you're car will be still lower in between that time (i guess depending on how low you went) but 2 months will be at it's very lowest. if you got the springs that dropped it 2 inches, after a month it may drop an inch already.

and spacers may help too (visually). even after the 2" drop, it seems there is some fender gap, not bad though. i'm getting the wheels to stick out 1/8 inch more in the front and 1/4 more in the back.
