Get Eibach springs and Tokicos struts. It gives the best combination of looks and performance.

I have intrax...I think they're great. I wanted a lower look than the Eibachs, but the Eibach's are better springs. I dunno If mine are sagging in the back, or it's just by system.

LOL wtf?

*Shakes head*

People people people...

Intrax = 1.75" drop

Sprint = 1.80" drop

You really think that .05 of an inch difference is even noticeable?

I've had Intrax for 2 years, no sagging. Most of that crap you hear about Intrax is pure rumor on other models of cars a long time ago. Intrax is also progressive, btw.

The difference between Intrax and Sprint is the way they sag, Sprints often settle evenly, but if they sag they sag in the front, and Intrax sag in the rear.

It comes down to prefernce

Personally I purchased my Sprints because they were in stock. At the time Intrax were all on back order. Besides Sprints and Intrax there's also Dropzones that gives a 1.8" drop.
http://dropzonesuspension.com/springs.htm
These guys are local in the Miami area. They have the springs listed for $264 but if you call, they sell them for $100. I originally ordered a set from them in Nov. 01 and 3 months later I still didn't get anything. Got my money back, went to Alex at Southwest Autoworks paid $40 more and got my Sprints 2 weeks later. I have yet to install the Sprints due to various reasons

So it appears you now have 4 choices for when you're seeking the drop look, Intrax, Sprints, Dropzones and Arospeed. Good luck

those numbers are just number on paper...

pearlmax's (has intrax) Car is about .5 inch lower than mine
and my car (has sprint) is about .5 inch higher than his.

his rear is sagging like crazy (could be the system) but i have a system too..

My sprints are even all the way around.. 2 finger gap at each wheel.
pearlmax's car... i dont know

but over all his intrax are lower.. my sprints are a lil bit higher. it could be the weight reduction ive done to my car... who knows dont matter sprints are cheap and ride is perfect

I wish my car was stiffer like my friend's stealh and supra. but thats b/c of the crappy tokico's.. thats why im getting konis

The most popular choice, Eibach's with Tokico's. Soon to be Sprint's and Koni's

No, Eibach will outperform any spring made for our cars. I dont know how low he wants to go, but anything is lower than Eibach.

I cant fit any fingers in my front fender with my sprints. The front of the car drops more then the rear, I think it looks a little more aggressive then an even drop...

Who never know

DaMax did post that link from the Z31 forum about those custom coil-o Just like Matt I also copied, paste and saved. The reason I wanted to go lower is due these ridiculously flat and better condition roads here in Florida. Unlike the hills, craters, and bumpy roads in the Bay area.
