are purple springs are only made by intrax?
I know that they come in 1.6 inch drop, but do they come in any other measurement?

FWIW, a friend of mine has Intrax springs on his 4th gen Maxima, and they are purple. To date, I've never have seen any other company with purple springs for the Max.

I believe intrax has a 1.7" drop. B&G's have a 1.6 all around.

Intrax doesn't make anything for the Maxima anymore. 7 or 8 years ago they did.

I've always mixed up Sprint and Intrax for some reason. Probably because they're blue and purple

I'm asking because I'm buying some purple springs. And wasn't sure what's the drop measurement. I think 2" is to low, since I have a lip kit.

Intrax springs say Intrax in yellow font on the coils. You're buying "purple springs" and that's all you know about said springs you're buying?

Don't bother with 2 inch drop springs on these cars, it will look nice, but you will hate driving it..It will bottom out all the time...You will also go through tires like mad do to excessive camber..

I'm still skeptical that any of these springs are 2" or lower. Looking at cars with supposed 2+ inch drops, you can see based on the wheel gap they're not any lower than Intrax. For example chrome's car. His drop was listed at like 2.2" or something. But no way in actuality IMO. A LEGIT 2"+ drop would be borderline undrivable.

I had intrax before, it was a bit too low. Had my friends get out when I had to rock crawl over speed bumps. High centered on snow in turning lane at stop lights. I have eibachs now, much better.

What was it that convinced you to get rid of your B&G's? Or did you have them on there till the end? Were you happy with them? Seems the ones I bought are finally in transit.
