I have them and love them, I paid $115 shipped from ebay. I've had them on for over a month now and they hav'nt settled any lower then they were the day I put them on. The drop was exactly 2" on mine. You will need to trim or roll the fenders in the rear or they will scrub. I trimmed 1/4" of the inner lip and no more scrubbing. As for the cheapest place im not sure but try this http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=sprint+springs&btnG=Google+Search

I had a set of Sprints... My springs started to settle pretty bad on the driver's side Rear. I am a big guy so my weight might have just been too much for the Sprint coils! :)

Once I put on 225s 55 16 I had to start using these rubber spring spacers... this made for very odd spring rates...not a good thing!

I just said bump it and went with the Ground control C/O kit after that... I think sprints are fine if you plan to stay with stock wheel size. You will have to do like the other guy said… and work you inner wheel wells so the car will not rub the tires. But under turning load… on a bumpy surface… you still might scrape a bit with a wider tire or rim.

I would save up a little more and get the Ground Controls.
