Grenatelli, Sprint, or Intrax?

Well I know this is more of a Suspension question. But that board aint to high flow. Anywayz which springs are better for AutoX. I'm not that woried about comfort and ****. The SPrints are 1.75" all around. And the Grenatelli's are 1.5" all around. And Intrax is 2" all around. But which is better? Cause I know that the Grenatelli's are Progresive and that aint that good for handling right? I'm not sure about the Intrax or the Sprints though. I think their just normal springs. Anyone have experiences? Thanks.

I haven't done any suspension stuff to my F-Body, yet. But, on other vehicles I have had great luck with Eibach's products. I have used them on cars that were run at autocrosses and open track events. Very good quality.

I wouldn't worry too much about how low you go. In many cases, springs that are truly designed for performance will not lower a car as much as ones that are designed to get that "kiddie car in the weeds" look. On many vehicles, it is detrimental to lower the car to the point that the front lower control arms go beyond parallel to the ground. This is at sitting at rest, of course.

Thankz. Yeah I heard that Eibachs were good. The only problem is the price. The cheapest I could get them for is like around 240 w/shipping. That's allitle to high for me. Cause I can get the other springs for around 180 w/shipping. 60 bucks I don't really have. Does a 1" drop make you car look any good? I would think that it would'nt make your car look that different. ALtough yeah probably a 1" drop is probably the best for handling. I also Kinda want looks to.
