Sprint Springs for Gen5 camry

there's a person locally selling a set of used sprint drop springs off of an '02 V6 camry. they said the springs were used for ~4 mos. ive seen pictures of the car and also in person and it looked pretty nice.

so i'm wondering if anyone that has sprint springs on their Gen5 can post how they like them.

i personally like tein.

front drop is more than the back drop.
looks more sporty and the fender-wheel gap for the front is smaller

if youre getting more front drop its because youre buying 4cyl springs for the v6.

Lightbulb

you gotta remember that the V6 is gonna have more weight, the block-bigger, the accessorys-some bigger, the tranny-bigger, basic front bracing i expect to be bigger, so terrastrife is right. oh and keep in mind, not everything said on ebay is right. but i agree, eibach is AWESOME! (i need some)
