No Sprints for me!!!!

So i order a set of sprint springs from HPfreaks last week since they suposedly had em in stock just to find out today they dont have em and cant get them so now im left with either waiting about month for coilovers or geting the megan racing springs which will give me the biggest drop now...this **** sucks i really wanted those sprint springs to go with the RPF1's i just bought...do yall think the megans can pull it off???

just save for the coilovers, I keep debating what I should do myself, and I came to the conclusion that coilovers will give me EXACTLY what I am looking for so thats what I am going to do.

Are you just looking to go low? or do you actually want performance? H&R's drop the car pretty low.

I know but since im not really going to be tracking the car i was leaning more towards the springs i just dont know if the megans will give me a decent enough drop to go with the RPF1's since i also went down to 35 on tires. I just did a search and found a pic of a member who is running the megan springs and rpf1's and it looks prety good he is on koni yellows tho...

Koni yellows are the reason for that. I don't have any personal experience with Megan Racing stuff but at the same time I don't think I would take the chance on cheapy springs. Paying more does not always equal a better product but any time finding techs specs or the manufacturing process is a problem I would stay away. That said, I doubt Megan actually makes their springs anyway.

Are you lowered on H&R's??? I was just looking to go as low as i could with just springs i know i have to replace the shocks eventually too, i just dont want to have my 8 looking like a monster truck with RPF1's lol but you are right the koni yellows probably have a lot to do with his ride height, i have never owned any megan racing parts and there is a lot of mixed opinions when it comes to them, a lot of people like their coilovers which they probably dont make themselves either but as far as i know megan is not that bad of a brand...here is my 8 as it sits now
