So I just bought a pair of Koni's... Only problem is they have lowering springs on them I dont know. They lower a lot, more then Apex's.. A LOT MORE... Since I dont know what it is I'm looking into Intrax springs. Anyone has any reviews on them?

Review on Intrax springs in the product review forum:

My

is that putting intrax springs with Koni dampers would be like spending $2k on wheels then buying $30 tires.

Mmmm thats weird. Cuz in the subaru world Intrax looks pretty good! What do you suggest then. I have some APEX springs now...

I have H&R springs, and love them, love the ride height and ride feel. Take a look at my pics and see how it sits.

how do you guys think that one can compare MkII stuff to MkI stuff??? and sorry, just how does the way a car sits ultimately say something about how a product (for another marque) will make the car-in-question handle?!?!?

I'd have to agree.

Intrax = Thumbs Down personally

I had a set on an integra when I bought it. They were too low and too soft and eventually sagged before I replaced them. Not to mention the cracking/flaking paint. I know that it was a completely different platform and spring specs, but I think it says something about how the company operates.

I'd personally just get custom rate Ground Controls. That way it can be as stiff, soft, high, or low as you want. Call GC for advice on rates if you are unsure of what you need.
