Eibach or Sprint springs which is better

I bought the eibach springs ( not installed yet, no shop wants to touch my car ) but i see sprint and a few other companies offer just springs, any one set better than the other? I heard Eibach were really good and keep factory tolerences so thats why i bought those, but if there is better maybe i'll switch, any advice here?

I have the eibachs installed and had mazdatrix in signal hill install them.

I've heard sprint is less quality on this forum

Sprint has a pretty bad rap. They sag quite excessively over time.

However, that was a few years ago.

I'd go with the eibachs, unless maybe you have some friends that have had sprint springs for a few years on their cars???

yea id go with the eibachs just cuz they have such a strong rep, i dont know as much about the sprints, which is sad because they may be very good, but i guess they will have to prove themselves!

Mike b i.ve seen your posted pics, any additional "settling" of your springs, i guess i mean what was the total drop in the end, 1.2" F&R exactly or was it more or less? Thanks for the replies.

I love the way it looks
I dont have exact measurments but I would guess its maybe 1.4 or 1.5 drop

Its pretty low and fills the wheel gap perfectly IMO
and its not low enough to be scraping all over town

Mikeb,

Park on level ground and measure from the fender lip to the ground, make sure the yardstick draws a line to instersect with the middle of the rim.

There's another post (I think the lowered pic thread) with some stock measurements. That should tell you "about" how much it lowered.
