I was wondering if i can use intrax springs on my stock suspensions just to lower my car and not have a **** ride...

any body uses intrax springs w/ stock shocks???
are they good for cornering???

Thanks

 

anybody???

 

I had a friend put them on his escort...compliant ride. they were progressive. stiffened it up quite a bit. i personally didn't like them. I went with a GC kit.

 

they are just for style not for performance... i too have the ground control coil over kit... to die for when i decide to visit family in the mountains i can raise the car.. get back in down i can get it sporty low

 

there garbage just for looks

 

style.....that's about it

 

I sent you a PM rotary7 a couple days ago.

 

gxlbiscuit: what is the maximum amount of lowering you can do with those ground control coilovers, is it 1.5 inches like it claims or even lower?

also, i have intrax on my fc. all i can say is that they yeilded little to no difference

 

yeah, i got em right now, theryre crap... get some RB ones if you just want drop coils

 

i really cant tell you how low but i know they can get really low in ther rear i cant seem to get it too low in the front. you can get the car low enough to where you need camber adjustment in the rear easily.. the car will sit just as low as intrax..i had a buddy with them... his car sat too low cuz he had stupid 205/40/17 what a wierdo size. ground controls may be harsh to some people.. the correct shocks(adjustables) will suppress it . like i said i love them.. "be one with the road"

 

Any of you people have some facts to back up bashing intrax springs? I use them with tokico blues and they are a good stiff upgrade over stock and they drop it pretty aggressively. Good for street use and won't jar the teeth out of your head.

 

may be your shocks all the reports i have read and seen and ridden in were stock shocks. bottomed out way too easy

 

It's never a good idea to put stiffer springs on 100k mile+ shocks. It'll kill them instantly.
