i'm gonna say that is not good. never did sprint but i got eibach sportlines for a 2.x (1.8 in drop all around) on my 3.0.the back is ok but the front settles low as f*ck due to the extra engine weight.with the 1.8 i'm almost tucking a 35 series tire(rubberbands).rubbing might be a serious issue with these springs.also the ride will be drastically compromised. the best thing to slam a 3.0 is coilovers.

You might not be able to roll around without scraping but it'll look gangsta low

face down ass up is what i call it. yeah the drop is not even. but does not look bad at all.(search for pics of my car,there's enough out there,i'm a photowhore)
with that drop, i'm pretty sure when it settles you'll have rubbing issues in the front. good luck with that,everybody told me no sportlines on a 3.0 and it worked out halfway for me so give it a shot and let us know what's up.....are installing yourself?
