Are these springs any good?
 

So i was on egay lookig at some lowering springs for sale and came accross these... a buddy of mine told me they are good springs but i know nothing about them. Any one of you guys ever used them? how do they ride? ---- i figured if they are good and all for $100 shipped it's not a bad deal.

My buddy used to sell Sprint springs at his shop and never had a complaint.

My friend just through some on his car, he likes em alot.

I've used Sprint springs on numerous cars. They are a lesser known brand, but I would say the quality of the actual springs is right up there with the best of them. They also carry a lifetime warranty against sagging and spring failure.

They don't do alot of advertising, but the owner is a good guy that stands behind his stuff.

i had sprint springs on my hatch. but they were chopped hahaha. but it still rode pretty damn good :o

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

---- from what you're saing it sounds like they are some good springs... guess i'll be ordering a set :D

and also do you think 2.50 front and 2.25 rear drop would eliminate most of the gap between the tire and the wheel well on some 15's or 16's ?

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

with that much of a drop you need to worry about the gap between the road and your oil pan

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

At that height camber kits are your friend.

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

Depends on what size tire you run, if you put on a 225/50-15 you should have little to no gap would look pretty good.

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

How wide on 15s????

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

Stop for a second and reread my post, it has the size right there.

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

I reread your post... and I'm still curious why you'd want to run 225/50R15 tires.
195/50R15 is the right size. 205/45 maybe... but 225 is no good.

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

yeah 225/50's sidewalls are 15 millimeters taller than the 195/50's . 195/50's are what you want.

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

I'd run 225/50-15's for the extra wide footprint and extra grip.

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

you would most likley need spaces to run anything that wide so it doesnt rub. also 50 walls are to tall for 225's. the "50" is a percentage of the width of the tire and if you put 225/50's on the car its going to be larger than the orignal circumfrence of the wheel and throw the speedometer off. if you were going to run 225/s you would need 40 or 45 walls. neither is going to have the exact same circumfrence as a 195/50/15's

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

The "right" size is whatever size you want to run, unless you're worried about having to adjust speedo's accuracy. And no you don't have to run spacers to fit those tires, they're on my crx no problem lowered 2.5" front 2.25" rear.

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

well if you were running 225/50's every revolution of the wheel would be 74.9 inches where the 195/50's are going to be 71.2 inches every revolution. its only like a 5%/4 inch diffrence a revolution.

211.4 revolutions to get down the quarter mile with the 225/50's


222.4 revolutions to get down the quarter mile with the 195/50's

so i guess it doesnt realy matter if you run 50 walls in 225's or not

Re: Are these springs any good?
 

I am convinced that on full lock, 225/50R15 will rub the inner fender or frame.
I am running 215, and I've had to do quite some work to stop them from rubbing.
No spacers tho.

Also, why would you want to run that high a tire? 40 profile would give a considerable less amount of wall roll.
Except if you're using them for dragracing. Then all rules are out the window.

Tire pricing and availability was my concern.
