Beware, drops in the rear over 1/2" will induce camber.  A rear camber adjust rod will take out some of it, but huge drops cannot be "fixed".
I've heard really negative things about the Intrax crap - i.e. sag after a year or so.

Well from where I've looked, it seems the suspension tech. springs only lower the car an inch. The HKS ones I've seen it listed as 1.25" & 1.5" somewhere. But they are like $100 more. Just remember that your stock shocks will wear out pretty quick with performance springs.

You guys are nuts. I have KYB AGX's w/ Intrax springs and the car rides awesome. Its not soft like everyone is making it out to be. You want a race spring when you drive 95% of the time on the street? That setup will outhandle almost anything on the street. I think the AGX adjustable go for 400 and the Intrax for 200. You cant beat that.

Worried about comfort?  Go with the Eibach Pro-Kits - very minimal drop.
Want something super stiff for the street - go with coilovers, Ground Control.
Don't go stupid low - you're stressing your suspension unnecessarily.

Everyone is ragging on Intrax. I know people have opinions but they are not bad at all from my experieces. If you just like to spend money go ahead and buy some expensive one.. On the other hand if you are on a budget the Intrax springs are a great way to go IMO.

Ground Control. Whatever spring rate you want, whatever ride height you want.
I know this cuz I'm wearin it. 2" drop. And Ted is right, I have too much camber even with the camber adjusting rod. I'm now looking at M'trix's new camber adjusting peices. Even more dinero.
IMO, Racing Beat has the best springs, if 1" is all you want.
