I just installed front sprint springs into my 94 eclipse, and it doesn't seem like it has lowered at all. I measured it before and after but all that's different is a mere 1/2" :(

i ordered the 2" lowering springs...

is it supposed to have time to settle?

well is the back of your car still lifted...if it is then you wont have that much of a difference yet. I thought that to cause I just installed 2" drop H&R's yesterday and had all the springs on and droped the back and my friend and I both said WTF...cause it didn't look lower at all. Then when we dropped the front it got lower and after driving it letting the bounce a bit it dropped even more. But they are used so they're already broken in.
 
yeah i didn't drop the back yet because i can't find the lug nut key, so i gotta take it somewhere to break the locks..
 
I heard about Sprint Springs and I heard it matches up with stock ride pretty good but if you really want to go low, Sportlines will do you justice... but for now jus ride it out and see if it gets any lower:)

i don't know about the 1g's, but my sprint springs were the 2 inch drop as well. and i'm down 2.25 inches. with my camber and toe within stock specs, i'm about 1 finger in the front and 1 finger in the rear. i'm on kyb struts and 225/40/18 tires. i'd call sprint or whoever you got them from. oh yeah, my springs were blue by the way.

If you havn't lowered the front yet the rear won't look dropped at all. As soon as you do the front the whole car drops. Sprint springs are very low. 2 of the locals used them and they were more then a 2" drop on the 2g's.
 
this is my car on sprint 2" drop

ride is good no complaints. Just gotta fix the camber. Some FWD's dont have the camber problem ive heard.
 
i have the Sprint springs on my car. didnt measure the drop but its pretty nice. I will be on 18's soon with 235/40/18 tires. Ill get some pics up then afte ri get that done, and maybe after i get the dent in my door fixed.

The fornt camber does not look bad on my car though, just rear but i have not got it aligned yet
