anyone running this or something like that... i might go with ground control coilovers but i can get a good deal on some intrax springs. my problem is i really wanna get rid of the bad wheel gap that occurs with my 16/40 pro's. and i don't really wanna get new tires
thanks

 

1.75? i thought it was only 1.25.. 16/40 should look good, i say go for the intrax springs. that's what i want to get(someday).

how wide are the tires?

 

D.P.

 

tires are toyo proxies 16/40/205

 

it should look pretty clean.. i like the low look with 16's. how much tread on the tire? if it's wearing out get some 225/40. that would look even better

the rim is 7 inches right?

either way with intrax springs it'll look good

 

i want some intrax.. i have FD rims and i to what to get rid of that ugly wheel gap

 

yea ohkay well guys i think i'm gunna buy some than.. we will see how it looks rite now my cars getting painted as we speak.. audi TT 2003 misano red... so look for pic's in the next 2 week's or so, i just don't like that wheel gap.. my biggest worry.. is that its possible my springs have sag'd allready so my car won't be that much lower

 

anyone have any pic of my set up or sumthing close
??

 

Previous owner of my TII had intrax springs installed. I had 17's with a 45 profile. Looked nice, drove like ****. Kiss your handling goodbye after you install these things. Body roll like a beeyatch.

P.S. The intrax springs WILL give you the drop you want, I can guarantee that.

 

Kiss your handling good by? After I installed the intrax on my old 88 vert the handling was GREATLY improved. I wish I had them on my new T2.

 

maybe he's talking about the 45 series tires?

 

No. I'm describing the springs. I'm going to guess that your old 'vert springs were shot to HELL, because the intrax are NOT designed with performance in mind. Hmm, that's important. Let me repeat that.

INTRAX SPRINGS ARE NOT PERFORMANCE SPRINGS.

They're specifically designed to get the car LOW, and to have a comfortable ride. Nothing else. If you're expecting a performance benefit from these springs, I highly suggest you look at some other brands. Peformance-wise, Intrax are **** IMHO.

MTNracer check the springs rates on the srings before you talk ish on springs first...

 

wait a sec. that comment i made about the intrax having a 1.25 drop is a mix up. i was thinking of the B & G spring set.

intrax= about 1.75
B & G= about 1.25

has anyone tried B & G? they might make a stiffer spring..

 

Don't need to, I own a set. I've driven on them with Tokico Illuminas. The body roll is terrible. It's extremely difficult to control the weight transfer on the wheels with these springs. If you don't like my opinion though, take it fromCorksport. Now don't get me wrong, the quality of the ride is fine, and if you're not super picky about handling, then these springs are for you. But it's been my experience(especially at autox) that these springs don't hold a candle to suspension techniques or other available brands. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
