i just got my intrax springs in this week and i am very happy with them but i would like to bring the front up about a 1/2". any ideas? and what have you guys done with you bumpstops? anyone use those energy suspension short ones?

I can't help with the raising of the car, but I can tell you what I did with the bumpstop. When you look at the bumpstop it has a step to it. I cut off the upper part with a buzzsaw. before I did this I kept bottoming out on the bumpstop. I intend to replace them with poly pieces when I can. Do you like your springs fairly well, i have found mixed opinions on them?
so far i like them. i love the stance but like i said b4 the front is a little low. id like it to come up about a 1/2" maybe. they handle alot better than the irocs i had. what are your mixed opinions?

I really like the stance you've got, may I ask what profile tires you are running?

I love the way they make the car look and the handling is greatly improved. Like you I also wish the car sat a little higher.
the tires are 245/45/17 all around i should have got a little bigger tire in the back but with these i can rotate them which was the major +, and i havent seen many people running intrax springs and different tire sizes. i thought the drop would be level but it sits up a little higher in the back.

I had a set in intrax springs on the front of my car. I left the rears off for that nose down look. They were really stiff and I actuall wrecked my bump stops and have hit the cross member numerous times once at 40 mph and put a slight indent in the bottom of it
the front tires were 225/50/R15s anyway I took them off when I started to restore the car and have since gone to an air suspension
