I have a feeling, a big feeling that this isn't a good idea.....
Without going into spring rates, bottoming out, intended length of suspension travel, rebound, blah, blah...
It's not a good idea.
If it were, everybody would do it for only $7 a whack.
You could get a little out of it, but no major drop without problems.

This is the deal dont do it!!!!!!!!!!
Okay all jokes aside, I went thru 3 sets of springs already on my car starting with Eibach. If you guys ever look at a lowering spring one side of the spring whether it be top or bottom, is softer on one end and stiff on the other end. Another thing to after market springs is that if you look closely they have 6 coils some have two coils that are closer together and then the other 4 coils have wider gaps and theres a reason why they are made like that. The coils that are closer together absorb the smaller bumps while the side with the coils with the bigger gaps not just absorb the big bumps but are there to hold the weight of the car. Stock springs are not made like that so dont go out and buy these. Guys dont be that cheap is not worth it. You can get springs for about $125.00 now if you look closely, whether it be from this site on the for sale part or Ebay where I got my wifes intrax for $127.00 shipped next day or even alex@southwestautoworks.com , and this guy is honest trust me. His name is max8mycash something like that.

I was looking at the maxsppeed springs but not sure how they will hold out. How are the intrax? are they harsh, what is the drop?
thanks

intrax leave the max with a somewhat saggy @ss, i personally never saw the maxspeeds, i had eibachs(good if ur into racing and don;t mind harsh ride), H&R(nice lowering decent ride), Sprint(lots of lowering, cheap price, good spring, harsh)(B&G's never riddin with em but i have heard they are pretty deezl)
