Hey guys,

Just wanted everyone to know that I installed Sprint springs on my EP this past weekend. The car looks more aggressive and tight. The car handles like a dream now. :cool:

nice drop- it doesnt look like you have much if any of a fender gap problem. How does it take the bumps now?

Thanks. Yep...the car has very little fender gap. As for the bumps...they are pretty bearable. Only giant speed bumps get me nervous.

Where did you get the springs and do you plan to get aftermarket shocks?

Got them from NOPI and as for aftermarket shocks, I don't plan on it but I guess I will see in a few months or so if the stock shocks are holding up. If not, then I will get Koni's.

Yeah, I'm looking into one right now. The rear looks like it needs it. The fronts look okay though.

I didn't wanted them on my car but it came with it. Will probabaly do it sooner or later. Maybe when I get some wheels.

The ride is okay. It does bounce alot on rough roads. But I think that is worth the looks.


Thanks for all the shout. The car looks alot better than with stock height. It don't look like a mini-van no more. LOL!:D

Man that drop looks really good. But there's no way I could go any lower (eibach sportlines)than I already am. I'm already scraping my exhaust on speedbumps.

that drop is very very nice....I know i havent posted a pic of my car on the neuspeed race but basically, when it was on stock rims, the front looked just like that, but the back was higher....the drop on the neuspeed race is really 2.5 front and maybe 2.0-2 1/4 in back...the back comes out higher, which is better because when people sit in the back, it settles down to where the car looks even...and as far as the mudflaps, leave them on...=)

when you posted these pics...were the springs settled in already?? or just put in?? cause i was wondering..when you dropped the back...did it slamm right away ..or there was still wheel gap and needed to settle??

I am assuming you are talking to me so here it goes......I put them in on last Saturday and I took the pictures on Wednesday so I guess they are now very settled since I drive like 60 miles a day to work and the roads here sucks.

As for wheel gap, I notice right away that there was no gaps. None on the front and back.
