does anyone here have an opinion on sprint springs?

[bigbillsfan]

i've been considering lowering my mp3 for a while now and just can't make up my mind on what product to use to get this done. i've searched this forum several times and have come to the conclusion that eibachs and h&r's aren't going to give me any kind of significant drop. i live in canada and that makes the g/c a little bit more expensive than i'm willing to go ($800 can.)

i've noticed that nopi has sprint springs that will lower the regular protege 2" for a reasonable price. but idon't want to sacrifice the mp3's great handling for looks alone. i was wondering if anyone has any opinions on the quality and/or performance of sprint springs? and i know i've asked this before but anyone who has lowered their mp3 using anything please post some pictures of their ride. i'm sorry if i gonna piss anyone off with this highly repetitive subject but it's really hard to gauge which way to go on this particular subject. thanks.

dont worry about being repetitive on this one...i'll tell ya how I feel about this...

id say, dont touch the handling on the mp3 until you can truely afford to go coilovers, g-c's if you have to, but i suggest from what ive read, go with tein or jic's...itll be ALOT of$$$, but its worth it.

Mike on here showed me these

gruond controls on there for $408 US thats cheaper than the 800 u said Canadian - I think thatd be like 600 CDN or so

$800CDN isn't that bad if you buy it at a store and the install is included because I've asked other places and they quoted $900, labour included. Screw that!

it's $800 without install i think thats pretty steep, i would jump at it if it included install. i really wish that mazda and other manufactures would take page out of the bimmer book a design their cars with a more agressive stance. i never understood why they design their cars to look like they're sitting on stilts, whats the point?
