Sprint springs: How good is the handling?

I can get the hand on a set of used Sprint springs for fairly cheap and was wondering if they would improve the handling of the car? The 2" drop is quite agressive to be matched to OEM shocks, are they only for style or are they any good? Maybe I should go with Tein or Eibach?

Just upgrade the shocks, if your worried about the aggressive drop. One of my friend has Sprint springs and never had problems with it.

Stock shocks have some travel so you shouldn't be bottoming out in normal conditions.

Handling and shock life wise I can't speak but 2" seems a lot.
