Sprint vs Megan Racing springs

Which would you guys go with? I am considering buying one of these two manufacturers springs and cant decide between the two and cant find too much technical data to compare between them either...

The only difference I have been able to find is that the Sprint springs offer a slightly larger drop haha. Any oppinions or input?

is there a reason why you're not considering other brands?https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-aftermarket-performance-modifications-23/spring-springs-springs-90198/

I personally wouldn't buy any of the two but if I have to chose, I'll go with the cheapest, that way I won't waste too much money.

Price, buying used and these two were in my price range. Havent come across too many of the others used, but am open to them if someone has them in the same price range.

Sprint isn't the cheapest spring out there, actually I paid more than most other lowering springs for my Sprint springs. I think they were $220. Tein springs are only $160ish

Sprint Springs are the way to go if you want an aggressive drop.

sprint, you'll get a decent drop with it compared to the rest. You can get legid Sprints for 150ish on ebay if you look around.

progress technology springs through fluidmotorsports are only $175 right now, brand new. It's a nice spring and drops 1.2 inches in the front and 0.8 inches in the back. Same drop as the Eibach springs but much cheaper.

Isn't the front end a little higher than the rear anyway? If you want a uniform drop go with Progress.
