Another spring thread...mainly about Intrax.

Well, I shot them an email here:
technical@intraxsuspension.com
Maybe we should have a few people do it so we can finally get some concrete information on them.

I have RSR Race Springs on Koni Adjustables. Theyre pretty stiff. Handles great IMO. Anymore questions, just ask. =p

Pics ^^
ohh.. and theyve settled a lil more than in those pics. ^
I run Intrax springs. They do drop the rear just slightly too much IMO, a little higher and I could actually fix my camber. No problems with rubbing on the bumps though. I've got them with KYB GR2's. They aren't noticeably stiffer than Eibachs. I can't say that the car handles very well with this combo though.
EDIT: Also, they don't bounce at all, so I guess the soft spring rate in the rear is fine.

Just in case I was misunderstood I think there's too large a difference between F&R rates and this will unbalance the car for fast cornering.
I owned a set, drove with them for about 2 years and posted a review in the suspension section.

I thought that the springs sagged after a year and I had rubbing issues even with stock size tires.

I have it on my old 87T the front is lower than the back at least on mine. I wanted to cut the rear so its about even. The person I sold the car to went with RSR race spring and bilstein and I went ahead and took my old spring and put it on my 90T. ride comfortable especially for me driving a 240sx s14 with coilovers that has 9kg front and 7 kg back on ksport coilvers which is a bit harsch. But my 240 corners like its on rails though. Anyway, I 've noticed understeer with the intrax springs when doing corners. Maybe a strut tower bar and a sway bar upgrade will eliminate that. The intrax is comboed with my stock tems suspension it doesn't feel like it bottoms out. just my 2 cents.
My rear struts are blown, so my input wont help much. I do have the intrax springs though, and they seem okay,
I do gotta say the rears on interax suck, I had a tranny sitting on my 87 with stocks an i had limited drop then i swaped it over om my 90 with intrax and it sagged big time the rears have no support on weight at all!.:nono:
IJ.;987270 said:^ And there's too big a mismatch in rates
Yeah.
Does anybody have a direct comparison of Stock Springs/"X" Struts and Tanabe Springs/"X" Struts? Most people say Tanabes are stiffer yet according to the chart the Tanabes are the same as stock.
I ran Intrax Springs for about 10 yrs. without problems. Granted, I don't drive many miles with my Supra yearly. They did what they were expected to do without problems. I did not experience any sagging.
I have since decided to go to the next level and now run HKS Hipermax coil overs.
Huge difference.
Consider what your requirements are before purchasing.
Intrax springs are not a bad choice in my opinion if ride height and a general improvement in handling is your goal.

Bilstein struts(sport replacements from A.Z.), and Hypercoil springs and sleeves from TIP Engineering.
Front: 600 in. lbs.
Rear: 300 in. lbs.
Just installed them today, have to do some fine tuning tomorrow, and get it aligned Monday. Firm ride now, and the car seems to stay flatter through turns. Give Wisass a holler, and he can help you out.
