I got em. They're ok, kinda stiff though, but there are better ones out there.
If you decide on getting the sprint ones you must get Koni adjustable struts! I had the cheaper Toxico struts on there and it handled like shit, took corners horribly, and made the car rock from front to back when accelerating. Go ahead and do it right the first time and save the money.

Keep in mind that if anyone thinks the springs are stiff, that coilvers will usually always be stiffer. Reason being, coilovers use linear springs in them, whereas, reg lowering springs are usually progressive springs. Thats the differance?
A progressvie spring has a softer portion of that spring that gets compressed and a firmer spring rate takes over. In theory, they will absorb the small bumps, but at the expence of some responsiveness.
A linear spring does not have that softer portion, it is at is full stiffness the moment weight is applied to it. But that does mean it will be more responsive than a progressive spring design.
i have them and agree with mike AND Chrome Thangs. I love the look and the way they sit, but....its a harsh ride without having Koni's, which i'll be needing soon. But nevertheless, they are a good buy in mmy mind if thats how much you wanna drop it and you take the right precautions.

I've heard that the Sprints can sag a little in the back, anyone know if this is true? Just asking because I've heard people talking about this, but all the pics I've seen with Sprint springs on look pretty level to me.

so koni shocks and the sprint won't be half bad? i was thinking about maybe progressive they are just as low i don't want 1.5 drop though so i wanna stick to low springs. thanks guys
its not how fast you go, its how fast you get going.
my friend had sprint springs on his CRX and they barely lowered his car so he ended up just cutting them...
