Intrax or Eibach

[Bomberillo]

I recently bought the intrax lowering springs with illumina 2's and while I was removing the old suspension, I found that the current springs are eibach. Once I installed the springs it actually raised the car. Currently the engine is out so i am wondering if I should stay with the intrax, and once i install the engine it will lower it down or should i stick with the eibach which have a manufacture date of 1998. What do you guyz think?

If the engine is out, the car will sit quite a bit higher. I'd wait till its back in before making your decision

this is how my intrax sits without the engine... same boat.

I used 2 have Intrax and after 5 months aprox. the car got really low and it was really jumpy...... in my opinion Intrax is shitty.
Now i have Eibach with Tokiko, way better than Intrax

Thanks for input guyz. I think Ill wait till the engine is back in before I make my decision. I was leaning towards the eibach though.

Eiback or Intrax are good, but intraxs are lower. I have my intrax on my supra since they came out. They say it lower its 1.8fr and 1.4 in the back, but my droped 2.2" in the front and 2.0" in the back. The shocks I had were kybs but the blow out. I went with BILSTEIN adj and the car drive like a dream and I can still go another 0.6" lower if I wanted to.:biglaugh:

Intrax should be lower than Eibach, especially in the rear. I thought the Intrax were stiffer, maybe someone can add to that?

I've had intrax in my car since 1999 and they are still great. No "jump-yness or lowering".

Possibly old are different than new?

BTW, my girls mk3 turbo has H&R (too low) which a local friend also had. He switched to intrax after I explained that what I ran and he still loves them. Although I am planning to go coilover sooner or later..

I switched from Intrax to Eibach as well. Rear sits slightly higher than w/ the Intrax's, and that's how I like it. Didn't notice much difference as far as stiffness goes- thought they were quite similar in that regard. They're both progressive.

I've run both.
Intrax definitely lowers the car substantially.
Eibachs provide a little softer ride quality.
