i need to see pics of lowered 3rd gens and what you guys have for springs and shocks since i will be buying springs and shocks tomorrow. i need to see what is the best drop to see if i like it and what are your opinions with your setup if it is good or you don't like it anymore.

 

My suspension drop consists of B&G springs[1.6" drop] and tokico struts....

 

Intrax...best looking drop IMO (just MO though) but the ride is a little rough.

 

the B&G drop looks nice without the stillen kit for some reason but i wouldn't like how the rear would sit. eventhough it looks nice tilted.

the Intrax drop looks good too. but how rough do you mean. was it stiff or loose? also what shocks were you using?

 

Really,the pics are the "day after" drop install pics[about 3 months old] they[the springs] have settled some now,and look pretty even...

 

BAM....koni / eibach...would have went lower if the roads around me didn't suck...eibachs are nice, konis are awesome! If you have the $$ or even if you don't, get the Konis...All or nothing, Ricky!



These pics were taken right after I installed the setup...it currently sits a bit lower than in the pictures...I love how it sits, personally...

 

nice, just that the tires look too damn big.

 

i have tokico struts, eibach springs. search ebay i spent somewhere between 3-400 dollars for both, brand new still in the boxes

 

Believe it or not, the tires are as close in diameter to stock as you can get...but they are quite a bit wider than the factory rubber...

 

Eibach drop


Intrax drop.



If you daily drive the Max go Eibach, for the slammed look go Intrax.

 

i daily drive my car but not a lot. i usually put about 10 miles to go to work and back and about 30 to school and back. i only go to school 2 days out of the week. so i really don't put alot of miles on my car. i prefer the Intrax and im pretty they will be it for my next purchase. now what shocks are you using Jbr8k?

 

I have Tokico/Eibach. I like how it handles fine and it's not uncomfortable on long trips. I should have gone with Konis, but I got a good deal on the Tokicos.

 

arent the Eibach springs a 2'' drop?
and Intrax 1.75?

 

no Eibach are 1.2

Intrax are advertised at 1.75

Sprints are advertised at 1.8

 

Go with KONI unless you just cant afford them and then go Tokico.

 

I'm on Tokico's only because I was able to get the warranty exchange.(previous owner had the receipt)
If you decide Intrax do not waste your money on Tokicos go with Koni's.

 

Your tails always look really nice

But you need to clean them tiressss

 

where do you guys get the intrax?

where are they the cheapest?

 

GRNMAXDMON where did you get those rims at? can you get me a link? and witht he intrax, if you hit a speed bump does the bottom of the car scratch? and I second the request for the intax suspension.

I can't put shiny crap on my tires because there is too much dust around. They will look even worse. Actually, I should just put it on for pictures, then let them get dirty. Oh, well.

I have to wash the stupid car all the time as it is. When I drive it to work, the parking lot is next to a Union Pacific main line, so freight trains go roaring by at 50 mph and cover everything with dust.

 

I cant remember if Summit still offers free shipping but if they do its cheaper through them (their price is also $199).

 

hmm, this is something I also need to do to my car once the body is semi decent for it. I shall book mark this thread.

I know someone mentioned 3-400 buts for springs/struts but if anyone feels like listing the setup/average price I would greatly appreciate it.

LIke my wheel gap on my sig?

 

whats the ride quality of the intrax? is it really stiff, i want a really stiff suspension

 

Appparently,they still do...

Fixed.

 

its not that bad. I actually like how it rides on them...well with good struts that is.

 

Hmm, maybe if I get bored one day I will buy some Konis and new Intrax springs and try it. Just not really into the car like I used to be. I just wash it and maintain it.

 

Blasphemy!

 

Eibach/Koni/BFG KDW (just in case the sig doesn't show)

 

have you guys ever tried the ZENN lowering springs?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-N...spagenameZWDVW

 

to add onto that question, anyone tried the tokico suspension kit (HP shocks, and their springs) and any comments about this kit relative to just eiback/tokico combo?

 

i got the rims from a local shop called world of wheels or something like that back in Sept. 2000 if i remember correctly. i've had them for a long time and i really need new rims

i don't have intrax yet. so i really wouldn't know if the bottom of car will scratch.

 

does anyone know if the intrax drop is STIFF or sloppy? like it bounces around.

i have the sprint and tokico combo. its okay, just not low enough i think.

 

thanks for bringing this up again. i had completely forgotten to ask about this as well.

 

the stiff and sloppy part you are talking about comes from the struts...although springs have rates on them most will feel the same with worn out or poor struts. Get Koni and set them to full stiff and you will be good to go if you want a really stiff ride.


I dont know what the rate of the Intrax are but they are anything from sloppy.

 

hey,
thanks
so koni are the best struts for stiffness then?

and i've been researching on these D2 racing coilovers, trying to see if they can fit our cars or not.
well if they cant, i think im going to just buy some coilovers that will fit like a 5th gen and custom fit them so they fit, i want to have an adjustable suspension, we have such potential since were front and rear independent.
well thanks, if i can't find out if they fit or not, then ill go intrax, the drop looks just perfect.

 

i have Intrax springs and kyb struts and 18s. if i didnt already have these springs id go with eibach. my car rides VERY rough. its stiff and corners well but gets annoying. to see pics of my car just go to the cardomain link

 

im going for just normal driving and a smooth ride. so eibach/tokico a good bet? def dont have the cash for koni, even though everyone raves about them.

i was thinking about just replacing the shocks, even though i think my springs are worn out. im afraid that the springs i have lowered the car too much (about 1.8-2 in, my bro installed the springs) and will screw up my new shocks. can this happen?

 

I can almost guarantee those kyb's are blown.

kyb-stock springs,Eibach
Tokico-Eibach,Intrax*,Sprint*(* Tokico's won't last long)
Koni- Any of the above springs
