Springs Question
i am thinking about getting intrax springs from someone i know pretty soon. i was wondering what else i would probably need to get at the same time or soon after getting the springs on a 92 gxe w/ 160,000 miles on it. i'm more specifically asking about the struts and how everything stock would hold up after getting these springs. (i think they're about a 1.7 drop). thanks everyone

As much as you won't want to hear it, here is what I recommend:
New struts (if you can afford Koni, get Koni)
Front upper strut mounting insulators
Front strut bearings
Front bump stops
Front dust covers
Front spring seat insulators
Rear bump stop/dust cover assembly
Rear upper strut mount insulators
Rear spring seat insulators
You can go aftermarket on the bump stops and dust covers if you want, stick with OEM on the mounting insulators and spring seat insulators (since that's the only way you can get them)

If you can't afford Konis (they are pretty expensive and high performance) then go with the Tokicos. Don't go OEM and if your getting Intrax I don't recommend the KYBs either. Good advise, Kaleb.
