I had sprint springs on my mirage, and the springs would completely compress, leaving 0% suspension!!! did you ever have this trouble w/ those ones??? My mirage front springs looked different though, more like the rear ones in the picture.
To tell you the truth buying the sprint springs was money wasted, the ride was horrible used it for only two days and took them off. my boy had them on his car and had the same problem. from my experience i do not like sprint, i loved my tein springs i had.

yeah, look for camber kits on ebay (for mirage or lancer). i got front and back camber bolts for like 30 bucks. there have been a few threads on this, and if your savvy you get to save yourself some RRM rape-age

for the record, www.ptuning.com has bolts for 23.95 + tax + 4.95 shipping. I have ordered from them before. Seems decent to me, thier bolts have a tab to turn in or out up to 1.75 degrees, for simple DIY adjustment.
What I am wondering about is the rear camber. I have noticed when my car was lowered on my last sets, (i had progress, then tein springs) I had quite a bit of negetive camber on the rear, which I waws unable to adjust to be even close to 0 degrees... I dont know if there is any way of fixing this, unless you use the same correction bolts for the rear lower bar (where you attach a tie bar)... I am trying to get all this info before I do this install of the NEX full coil overs, as this is the 5th, and LAST time i want to replace my suspension.
Stock, to Progress, to Stock, to Tein, to bounce, to Stock, to NEX full coil overs soon.

Im wondering what yank1969 is doing. Last e-mail i sent to him, he said he was installing them yesterday and was going to take pics... Nothing yet. I would be nice to know how the install is going. Sent him a follow up e-mail, nothing yet...
You can be sure there will be a new thread (which i will post a link here) talking about this set installed, rather than this huge thread w/ a bunch of BSers.
