I have Intrax Springs.

Who said they are crap ?

They are awesome, I bought them in October & really like them.Nice ride.

Jeff had them on his ride too. The ride was very nice, but the drop wasnt like they claimed. The H&R's have a better drop, at least on jeff's car. Most negative comments have been towards Sprint springs.

latez.

Ya, I also heard Sprint springs are not quite upto the mark.

Intrax are really nice .
The drop depends on
which model you are installing them.

well the drop is what i expected, the ride is good minus a few squeaks and noises, but there is a big gap int hte front and almost no gap in the back

Don't always believe what you hear cos ppl will always talk sh*t about stuff they don't know about.

I've had Intrax springs on my gen 2 since 1997 and their fine.

As for your uneven drop, you didn't mix the springs around on accident did you? When I installed mine the front was lower then the back.

Jeffs drop was exactly like that aswell! So he cut a "few" coils.

i think it just might have to do with if you have sealed or serviceable struts... some people get a nice drop, some people get an uneven one. do you guys care to post whether you have slealed or serviceable? cuz i have a hunch intrax made them on a certain type and forgot about the other one...

Camcrazy · 05-11-2002, 08:10 PM

I don't think it really matters. Theres no difference between the sealed the servicable struts other then if their sealed or serviceable.

Mine are serviceable. I replaced my struts with Tokico's (cartridge / insert) at the same time I did the springs.
