what are you opinions directly on the H&R versus ST's

I saw a member selling his ST's for $100 shipped. I'd like to lower my Maxima slighlty, maintain a good ride, and enhance the handling characteristics all at the same time. I found H&R's new for $212 shipped. Which is better for the dollar...I'm a student. Oh yeah, I think I'm going to go with the Tokico shocks for the rear and Koni Struts for the front.

What should go with Intrax?

Konis? or Tokicos? How harsh is the ride with Intrax springs?

Correction Doug =)

Sprint Springs are progressive. I believe the Intrax are too. Here's pic of the rear Sprint spring. Notice the top part of the coils are closer togther and the bottom part of the coils are further apart. It's rare for passenger car springs not to be progressive.

Ride Height: 2.5 inches
Highs: Sprint give a 2.5 inch drop, leaving no wheel gap
Lows: Spring springs are non progressive and may give a very harsh ride.
