Intrax is an okay spring if that's what you want it for (lowering). I'm not really a fan of any spring that doesn't tell me the height of the spring, the spring rate, etc. I would say it's not a bad buy though.

Just be careful when lowering a 7 and remember that 2" is very risky (anything over that is just asking for the car to die a horrible death). Ground clearance is already not one of our strong points (5 3/4" I believe it is), take 2 inches from the stock ride height and yea it might look cool (not to me ) but just think of what happens when your exhaust is dragging behind you and *gasp* the oil pan has NO OIL in it... .
