For aesthetics you'll want the intrax springs by far. What tire sizes are you running?

Man, that's real small. If you have a 7" rim at least run a 215/45/17. That'll make everything work out a lot better. Considering the tire size you're using you must have a FWD fitment/higher offset wheel.

Does the wheel in the back sit into the fender quite a bit? You're fender to tire gap will be minimzed with a 215/45 as well.

KEep me updated.

Not for roadrace, but for ride comfort and aesthetics they are by far the best out there. Everything depends on your funtion. You can't acheive killer handling and good ride comfort unless you go with something like the JIC FLT-A2 which lists at $1850.00. $$$$$
