Sprint springs are probably the worst ones out there. Some Goldlines, Eibachs, or Spys would be a better chioce. IMO
20 Scion spring installs to date, (with 2 more scheduled tonight)

Well. You are taking a tiny car with a short wheelbase that comes with a stiff suspension and rides pretty low.
Then you lower it 2" more and put gigantic wheels on it with about 1/100 of an inch of rubber between the road and your rims.
Hmmm.....
It depends on what your goal is here. If it's bling-bling and you must have the drop and the giant wheels then you will have to deal with the consequences of totally impractial modifications to your car.
If your goal is handling and performance, then you ought to consider something closer to a 1" drop or honestly just leave it alone. Either way, add a thicker rear sway bar, but leave the front sway alone. Try 16" or at the VERY most 17" wheels with 205 width ultra high performance tires.
That is a practical set up for good handling and control and it won't ruin the suspension geometry and make it ride like crap..
