* Intrax
* Front: 700 lb/in max (12.5005771 kg / mm)
* Rear: 220 lb/in (3.92875281 kg / mm)
* Drop: 1.6" - 1.3"

Looking at those intrax, does anybody have problems with them? They are so soft in the rear, yet they go pretty low. Do you guys with Intrax Springs ever bottom out your exhaust or anything when you go over bumps quickly (like on the highway)? Also, how's the handling on them?

Also, anyone have rates on the Whiteline Springs and B+G Springs and any other comments about them?

220 rears seem very mushy compared to 700 fronts?

According to some other threads, the rear is basically slightly stiffer than the stock rear springs. Not sure if that's considered mushy though. I also hear that Intrax is linear though, which is what interested me in them at all :)

I'd be in for a review too, as well as a review on the RSR Race Springs.

RSR Race Springs Specs are:
Front: 12 kg/671 lbs - 1.4" drop
Rear: 6 kg/335 lbs - 0.8" drop

I've been looking into a nice stiff spring to match the Bilsteins. If i can't find one, I'm shooting up to Coilovers.

My bro had the RSRs, although I'm not sure if they were the Down or Race, but JustAnotherVictim has them. My bro ran Bilsteins+RSRs, and it was a rough ride but handled pretty well. Hopefully people can actually give reviews/info on Intrax/Whiteline/B+G. I've already seen a decent amount of stuff on RSRs.

I'd like to hear more on the RSR race springs as well. I'm planning on using them matched with some Bilsteins shocks. The RSR race springs are linear springs right?

i own them. i'll give ya a review. they suck.
i'm just angry because of how low the rear is compared to the front. if the front was lower, then it would be nice. now it kind of looks funny, but it seems i'm the only one that notices. and yeah they to seem to bottom me out in the rear.

You're referring to the intrax right?

Wow, really? I had those before I went to coilovers and I really liked them. Handling felt better than stock but the ride wasn't horrendously stiff driving straight down the road. I also really liked the even stance, I'm not a big fan of the raked look, that's why I went from Intrax to coilovers so that I could keep the same look. Never bottomed out once FWIW but I didn't drive like a maniac either...

Dan McBoost ran Intrax's on his supra. You can probably check out his site to see if he did any reviews on them.
