Intrax Springs

I was wondering if anyone had experiences with these springs, I already asked Raymond from Gilman and he said that they're bad quality and he won't carry them for that reason!

The dilemma is I want my car to a go a bit lower because I don't like the wheel gap, now I have two choices! Either change the springs or go with a bigger profile tires!

If I take latter choice I'll have to wait for a while because my tires are still brand spanking new!

My tire profile is 205/40/16 right now, I'm pretty sure that if I get 205/45/16 it would decrease the gap!

What do you guys recommend? Any input is appreciated!

Intrax springs are supposedly not heat treated from the factory, so they have a tendancy to sag, and keep on sagging as time goes on.... aka. "The neverending drop"

you dont want that shit.

Thanks a lot guys, I heard nothing but bad stories about Intrax! I guess I'll just do the profile enlaregment project once my tires wear down...

Well, have to find out some things for myself right Ren! I asked a few professionals and a few people that had experiences with Intrax springs, and I got nothing but bad input....
