Hey All.I got my Sprint Springs installed during the weekend and got some pix to show you of my ride.The drop is about 2 inches right now with no wheel gap.The pix may look like my car is dirty i guess cuz of the sun glare on the snow or something,but it's still my updated pix and mint in person.Feedback is welcome.Next to be installed is my HID's then rims when it stops snowing.

If anyone is interested in there ride with this drop. I got an extra set of Sprint Springs part # 8065 for the gen.2 solaras only.I am lowering the price to $100 for pick up in NY or $140 shipped.Brand new.

I see Ms Keys got her slam on....

Lookin good, looking good....

This had to have been before the sleet storm we had this weekend....lol

I cant wait til I drop mine (hopefully next month). All you need now are some nice rims.... although... the stock look is definitely sexy.

Congrats, enjoy, and at all costs avoid these damn potholes when you come into the city..... Been around your way... your roads are sweeeeeet compared to the ones around here, where I live.... like 20 min away.

thankssssss guysss.. it's definitely a nice change and very noticable in the streets.It's a pretty stiff ride, not really bouncy at all, which is a good thing.I love that there's no wheel gap.And yea, it still doesnt look that bad with the stock's on there :)

Looks great! I wish I had gone that low. The TRD springs are pretty conservative in comparison.

Nice work Alisha!

Thanks! I told u I was gonna go for the lowest drop! lol.. I considered the TRD springs when I first got my ride, but I wasnt to into it because it didnt seem like it was gonna have that real low look i wanted and ofcourse, I wanted something noticable.I talked to another member who used the Sprint Springs also and has no complaints about them. He even told me he cut one of the coils to make it even lower! I just want to let everyone know, you dont always have to get "TRD" for everything, there's other options out there peopleee :angel:

I'm considering buying a set of these this week. How did you go about getting them on? Should I take my car somewhere to get it done?

Thanks for any info/advice in advance.
