I just installed a set of sprint springs in my 03 Lancer ES and I was really specting to see my car more lower but is not really that much difference from stock. Also my left side seems to be a little lower than my rihgt one but Im not really tripping about that. I asked my friend about that, and he told me to give it some time to to set but I dont know.

Wait a week or two for the springs to fully settle. But I'd be a little bit worried that one side isn't level with the other. Did you cut the bump stops the same amount, if that was even required?

I dont have sprint springs... but I do have their cellphone and their service... VERY bad ****

Lancer408

I think that it wasn't required because the springs look very similar to the the stuck ones,( I did not cut them ,does that really make a difference??

Lancer408

I think I should give them a call because i followed all the instructions and they should'nt be like that!!

Lancer408

How much lower will it go after 1 or 2 weeks????

Seriously, you shouldnt have to cut the bump stops...

maybe u accidentally put the stock springs back on the right side and put the sprint springs on the left side (hey... it's a posibillity)

Lancer408

A long time ago somoeone on the forum said they were the test fitter for sprint springs and they were ****. This is the first I have heard since and it looks like the same result.

And unless you want to look like a jackass with a lowered front and a lifted rear on a FWD car then intstall the fronts and leave the rears for later. Springs dont take long, did mine in a couple hours in the garage, to do and if you got all the tools out it would be a lot easier to do them all at the same time.

I was going to do the rear ones too but my compressor broke down and I stock in the middle of every thing. So what i had to do was go to the nearest gas station (the ones w/ the tune-up service)ask them to do me tha favor of loosen up the screws that hold the spring on top with and impact gun. So Im probably going to have to wait until I get a new compressor

I plus you can't even tell that I lowered my car in the front thats why Im disapointed, there is till about an inch fender gap showing.
I was especting no gaps!!!

Lancer408

I found out what the problem was with the level of my right side.
i accidentally put one of my springs up side down. Does any body know if there is any special marks or something that will tell me how to put them on

There's usually a paint marking somewhere on the spring to distinguish top and bottom. That, and the bottom end should be more coiled than the top.

Lancer408

Well mines dont have any paint mark on them and also the rear ones do look more coiled in the botton but the front ones look the same on the top and the bottom
