Which spring are better?!

Can someone tell me what are the better spring for my car, I have a 90' gx ( gtu i think for us).

I want to remove the space between my rear wheels and the fender (thats horrible!).

I was thinking about the intrax kit that lower the car more than the hks and the eibach kit.

What you guys think?!

Is one better than other for ride quality....??!

Any picture of intrax spring installed on a car??!

Thanx
Dave

I don't think the Eibach's (Pro-kit, I assume) will do what you want. They are 1" or so lower than stock NEW springs. They are really about the same height as old worn originals. I put them on my car (90k miles) and saw no difference in fender to tire clearance.

intrax arent of the best of the run but if your just trying to remove some wheelgap then i guess they'll work, not to great on ride quality

Ride quality was better than the worn springs, but I also put KYB AGX shocks/struts on at the same time.
I do get a little wheel hop at the rear in the wet. I think that initially they are a little softer than stock, but get stiffer as the weight transfers.
For some serious driving (a little track time?)you might look at other choices. Eibach does make another non-progressive type spring.
