Sprint Springs Install

Hey fellas,

I wanna do some simple cosmetic upgrades to my 96 SE-R, so I wanna start off with lowering it. I've heard many good things about Sprint Springs on the 200's, although I went through three sets on my classic and they were crap! Anyways, I was wondering if there is anyone on here who is running the springs ONLY, with the OEM struts. I can't afford to upgrade struts also, although most people will say wait (I'm an impatient bastard!) Also, does anyone have any pictures they can post or send me of their 200 with Sprint springs?

ALSO...if anyone can provide any tips or advice on swapping these out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Peace...g-NO

Hey Nismo, how long where those springs on you're car? Also, I'm sure the ride got even worse after you cut that coil, am I right? Remember that I'm not swapping out struts, so I need something that isn't gonna be too stiff. Get back at me, I might be interested. Email me at drumtek@pacbell.net

peace...g-No

P.S: Nice SE-R!!

I have sprint springs and want to get rid of them also. The ride quality is terrible. I want to get adjustable coilovers and new shocks. I am thinking of going with ground control. Any suggestions on good shocks and coilovers for a b14 200sx?
