One of my club members has the Intrax springs on his '85 Z28 and his car is l-o-w.... I could barely get a finger in between the tire and fender. Looks very cool.

My brother has a set on his 89 RS with the stock wheels.Looks good.Rides a little rough,but the handling is better and it gives the car a much better stance and makes it look a lot better overall,even with the factory wheels.

cool,those were the first ones I checked out too,Eibach doesn't go that low. what about the geometry of the front spindles? there is an ongoing disscussion here on wether it would make a difference for the average driver.LCA relocators are recomended to keep the rear wheels on the ground durring hard acceleration.

You will have to cut the bump stops for the front suspension or it wont have much travel. And yes they are low.

I have a set on my GTA and it is really low. The ride is really rough, too. I have about 1.5" clearance for my exhaust. I bought some eibach springs and am changing those in instead. If you want to go really low for not too much money. Intrax are probably the way to go.

How about handling? They are my choice when I get done with my engine and tranny. I want to have a good handling car. Would they be good?

dont do it its to low! one inch of susp travel it not enofe. I want to swap these out for eibachs,or maybe ST springs. 1 inch drop
as for the handling it is better than stock but it understears more than I would like
(also because of the posi that was installed) but it is way to low for a camaro
I feel that the one inch drop would be much better over all. install a good set of struts and shocks also. with the intrax springs and stock shocks it bounces all over the place.

I mean over all thay handle well but mostly on the open road. any one want to trade? 2 inch drop for 1 inch drop? or even stock iroc springs?
