1) I am thinking on lowering my 1993 SE with either Intrax or Eibach. I noticed both are progressive rate springs but they have different drops. The Intrax is a 1.75" drop for the front and 1.5" drop in the rear, while the Eibach is 1.2" all around. I also noticed that the Intrax is overall less expensive compared to the Eibach. I am wondering how is the ride quality on both. I don't want to be rattled around, but still want the performace at a good price.

2) Along with the springs, I would also like to get some performance struts for the car. I am a bit lost in deciding on this also. I know there are Tokico, KYB, and Koni out there, but I don't know which model type from each company offers applications for the car? I heard that Tokico are not too reliable after a few months, while I heard good reviews on KYB. As for Koni, I don't even have a clue.

So in short, which combination of springs and struts will offer me good performance in corner, last long, while not rattle me that much at a good price. Where did you guys purchase these from?

After lowering the car, I know I need an alignment, but do I need a camber kit for both front and back to bring the car back to specs?

3) I also would like to add a FSTB, and upgrade the FSB and RSB in my car. Which companies offer these bars of good quality and good price.

Thank you.

well...

I just became a proud owner of the Intrax/Tokico set up my self.

The looks are great, and I will say that the ride is not to bad. My spring/strut set was already killed so the ride is not much more harsh than it was already. But I am very happy with the ride quality, and obviously, the going around the corners quality!

I am not sure if this helped at all, but it does look pretty sweet slammed with the 1.75, I have heard good things about the eibach as well, but it's all up to you!
