why is that? I want to find a set of spring that would go that low or even lower. I know coilovers will do the trick but looking for springs for now.

I've never seen or heard of anybody using them but i do know that they're the lowest spring offered for the LS 430.

The fact that no one on the board uses them, and that they have no real reviews is what steers me away. I know of many suspension companies, but Sprint is one I've not heard of.

ive herd of some people in town using them, but it will be a minute before i could ask them. I herd the thing that sprint is good for is if you wanted to change the spring on the coilover for an even more agressive drop . I really dont think you should do springs, just wait because if you just do springs and not shocks you WILL blow your stock shocks, on my gs i have to admit i went on cut springs on KYB shocks for about a month before i did coilovers, i was close to blowing out my kybs, on stocks (shocks) with sprints you're done...
