i would go with the sprints. i've been researching for a while and the sprints are low and i havent read one downside about them yet. i will be getting the sprints, but not for a while.

How much does the sprint springs cost? Is that all you need to lower your max?

i believe max8mycash is selling them for 140 or 150 shipped. many people suggest that you aslo get new struts/shocks because the stock setup wont last with the harsh ride.

I got a set of intrax from a guy on the board and he sold them to me because he got the sprints, he said if i remember correctly that he liked the intrax better than the sprints as far as ride and everything goes, I for one think that the intrax are great it almost doubled my handling (due to also having a FSTB and RSB) and how fast I wear out tires cause I take corners so damn fast no, but as far as what everyone says about the intrax sagging my only do that when I have my 100 pound box in the trunk, but otherwise the drop looks even in the front an back, and it looks tight lowered. I think the intrax dropped mine pretty far about 2" or so, but be prepared to pay about $200 for the install at least around my area that is how much it would cost, but I just got the tools and did the **** myself, it is not as difficult as you would think but have someone who is a little mechanicly inclined to help you and get some instructions, but really you only have to undo about 5 bolts per corner, and then compress the factory spring and then compress the new spring to put it on there, if I had been smart I would have got the struts to match and just put the new springs on the new strut and the install would be a breeze.

I think the intrax are firm at least at highspeed cornering but I need to get the shortened struts toykos or whatever they are called to get rid of the bad rebound I have on bumps and dips, the car it 2" lower but the struts still travel as far as they used to so when I hit a bump I travel up alot more so it makes it ****ty but I have an SE so it's not that bad cause the SE struts are stiff ones anyway

www.maximadriver.com has the sprint springs for $119 in the group buy section I think. They look pretty nice on my friends 98, I personally didn't want to go that low though, so went with H&R's. I paid $70 bucks to have them put in and an alignment done. Probably could have done it myself and saved some $$$ though. Good luck.
