spent 3 1/2 hours this morning taking out my stocks and replacing them w/ tokico's. i already had eibach's for almost a year on stock shocks and struts.. figured it was time to replace them.

feels much better, but i don't think it's nearly as tight as cheston's 4th gen, who i beleive had the same set-up ('till he recently got the sprint springs). maybe it's just cause i'm not the passenger this time? hmm.. i guess koni's are going on my list....

Well, the funny thing is Eibach drops more on 4th gen max than on 5th gen max?????for 4th gen it drops 1.5" in the front where 5th gen only drops 1.2", i guess that makes some difference there...

Intrax is coming out springs for 5th gen max next month 1.75" drops, would be perfect for show and street racing!!!

No, and we are going to wait for a long time for this one. However Intrax is coming out suppose nex month 1.75"drop for 2k max, I am thinking Intrax and KYB AGX setup(if they make it for 5th gen this Spring)!!

how firm would they be compared to the eibach pro kits? i don't know if this is a fair question since they don't have them yet, but i'd want them as stiff as i can get them. and w/ a 1.75" drop, is camber adjustments a concern?

Definitely softer than Eibach, H&R and Intrax are known to have soft ride. According to Intrax, the springs would be perfect for Street Racing and show, so i guess handling is not as good as say Sprints!!!!

Intrax springs known to have a soft ride? Nah...the ride is stiff as heck; on a 4th gen. anyway. I really want to get Koni struts. And I don't need you need a camber kit if you get the Intrax springs with the 1.75" drop. I didn't need it anyway. However, maybe with your 5th gen., it might be a different story.
