What are you looking for? Just lowering, or better handling?

You need to find out what the spring rate is on the springs...

I would recommend Eibach for handling and the intrax just for show.(this is just what I percieve)

I attatched a pic with my car lowered with eibach sportlines (at least i think i attatched the file properly!?!) I took out the rubber isolators on the springs both front and back. The front came down more about 1/8 of an inch because of the isolator and the rear about 1/2 inch more.

If you click the link on my sig, thats what my car looked like with the isolators still in there with the sportlines.

I took mine off also,but I cut a piece of heater hose and slipped it over the first coil to keep it from squeaking and wearing out the pocket so quick.



My brother has an 89 RS with the Intrax.It is LOW. Looks good with the polished Iroc wheels he has. I have the Sportlines from Eibach. Ride seems close to the same in each car.Mine probably handles a little better though.
