Intrax Springs

Simple enough question. Who uses intrax springs? Do you like them? Anyone know if they are linear/progressive and what the rates are?

Throw those things away, they are tire and suspension killers on an FC.  1.75" drop is too damn stupid with the FC (rear) suspension.

They're ****. Complete crap. Search my user name and "intrax," you'll find more than a few debates about them. Now where's importboi22 to defend them?

Lol, now I feel like Intrax is getting treated unfairly... It's like this: Intrax are a fine spring, if you recognize the fact that they are NOT performance springs. Intrax themselves don't claim that they're designed with performance in mind. They're designed for ride height and comfort first. In other words, for looks and for looks only. They slam your car, and if you're into that, then it will definitly look good to you, but if you expect handling benefits as well, well then... you're going to be woefully disappointed. Buy the intrax if you want a cheap, lowering spring, but buy anything else if you want to go fast.
