same series.
Exactly what Karack said, if it's not bouncing now, it won't be bouncing with stiffer springs (but it would be "bumpier"). And yes the shocks will fit your TII.

I had Intrax springs on my car too (I know, I've been through a lot actually and I actually just sold HP/Intrax setup recently for pretty cheap), I think they are horrible. Performance is shitty, crossover on spring rates require a lot of load. Ride quality isn't even that great for progressives. And yes you would need a camber kit, if you really don't want camber kit, just get the Teins or RBs.

Thats the same setup I have on my car, and I like it. I was going to get some Racing Beat springs, but i came across a good deal on these. The ride is slightly stiffer and there is an improvement in cornering. Keep in mind though that I dont know how much of the improvement was due to my stock shocks/springs having 100k+ miles on them.

I have the same setup, Eibach's and Blue's. I like the setup and I've had it since 2000 with no issues, but I'm willing to try out something different.


I want to try out some RSR's with AGX's or some Tanabe's. Whatever I can get a good deal on.


If I come across some coilovers, then I'll get them and give them a try.

Tanabe and AGX. Wanted RSR but couldn't and still can't find them in stock anywhere for the last 2 years. Your drop will depend on how worn out your orig setup is among other things. Considering my 91 Turbo is the heaviest thing next to an S5 Vert I'm surprised I only dropped an inch from what it was.

That setup looks very good. Looks to be about 1/2 inch lower than mine I think even more so in the rear.
