sprint or intrax?

Ok, let me start off by saying that I don't want Eibach, but I want a good handling spring with a bigger drop. So which is better....sprint or intrax. I know that Intrax is 1.75" front and rear. What are the exact drop numbers for sprints...1.8" all around or 2", I've heard both. I want to couple these with koni's so, which spring would be better?

Sprint is 1.8. Sprint is linear Intrax is progressive (like Eibachs). I dont know what the spring rate of each is but believe that Intrax is a better handling spring (uneducated guess). Either would be fine so go with your budget.

The only thing I will offer is to say that I have seen some Sprints not as low as others so there may be some inconsistancy there but all the Intrax drops look the same to me.

you need to give me a different email address. For some reason I can not reply to the one you emailed me with. It is always returned.

I quit working on the car because of some personel things that came up and the fact that I wasnt pushing it to make it to nopi because I couldnt go anyway.

I have been working on it the last few weekends though and will post up some new pics maybe some time this week.
