Yeah, i want to drop my car, so it looks nice, maybe 1.5 inches. and still have a smooth ride, with responsive handling....

Beware, drops in the rear over 1/2" will induce camber.&nbsp A rear camber adjust rod will take out some of it, but huge drops cannot be "fixed".

I've heard really negative things about the Intrax crap - i.e. sag after a year or so.

Well from where I've looked, it seems the suspension tech. springs only lower the car an inch. The HKS ones I've seen it listed as 1.25" & 1.5" somewhere. But they are like $100 more. Just remember that your stock shocks will wear out pretty quick with performance springs.

Intrax are TOO soft. I had them on my MX6-GT. I used the springs when I install new AAS shocks. If I used Koni's with the Intrax, it would have rode a little better.

Hmm, what reted, i'm inrested in your opinion. I want the car to look good, lowered but still have an alright ride, nothin uncomfortable, what do you suggest?

chatch 09-14-02 05:41 PM

You guys are nuts. I have KYB AGX's w/ Intrax springs and the car rides awesome. Its not soft like everyone is making it out to be. You want a race spring when you drive 95% of the time on the street? That setup will outhandle almost anything on the street. I think the AGX adjustable go for 400 and the Intrax for 200. You cant beat that.

Worried about comfort?&nbsp Go with the Eibach Pro-Kits - very minimal drop.

Want something super stiff for the street - go with coilovers, Ground Control.

Don't go stupid low - you're stressing your suspension unnecessarily.

i'm just confused! what am i to do? Bcty has intrax springs, they are nice...good handling, and not a harsh ride. But other say, they belong in a garbage dump, and i have heard they sag....after a year. Whats the deal hear?

That was referring to the HKS springs.

DC350 09-24-02 02:51 PM

HKS look nice, And they have a very good rep with all there stuff. I wonder how still they make the ride.

Everyone is ragging on Intrax. I know people have opinions but they are not bad at all from my experieces. If you just like to spend money go ahead and buy some expensive one.. On the other hand if you are on a budget the Intrax springs are a great way to go IMO.

Zach McAfee 09-24-02 04:00 PM

Ground Control. Whatever spring rate you want, whatever ride height you want.
I know this cuz I'm wearin it. 2" drop. And Ted is right, I have too much camber even with the camber adjusting rod. I'm now looking at M'trix's new camber adjusting peices. Even more dinero.

IMO, Racing Beat has the best springs, if 1" is all you want.
