    worth 50 bucks?



    they are sprint 1.8" lowering springs. i plan on mating them with KYB GR-2 shocks, if i buy them.

    what i want to know is does anyone have any personal experience with this setup? how about the springs?

    the guy that is selling them had them on his 99 for about 20 miles. he has 20's and the drop was so low they rubbed, so he replaced them with eibachs. he is only asking $50 for the set. i know they cost about $230 new. so what do you think?

    thats what i was thinking. ive done some research on here, galant forums and the sprint website. the website just gave basic info and the only posts i could find were people thinking of getting sprints, but no follow up.

    not many people have sprint springs, let alone talk about springs anymore.

    back in the days of eibach, were the sprint springs, that we used to get discounts on through the ptuning.com website. there were several guys back in the day that had them, no complaints. Instead of GR2s, I would go ahead and save a bit more and opt for the AGXs.

    buy them

    i pulled them off of a 99' eclipse at the junk yard. the 17's that came on the car when i bought it were bent to hell. i need to repaint them. the caliper paint i used chips real easy

    I have these springs on AGX's...I don't see them around as much but picked them up since I got a deal (85 shipped) from a guy clearing out his ebay stock. I was planning to go with H&R or Tein but how could you turn these down for such a price?

    They are rated to drop 1.8" all around....I didn't get exactly that, definitely more in the front, maybe a little less in the back, but mind you I have the V6.

    Here are quick before and after shots, hope they help:





    *edit* and i'm an idiot and just realized that was you posting the installed pics, hope you like the new setup! haha

    ^^^ That's a good drop right there, it will drop a little bit more after it settles too.
