Default Purple springs on an 02 WS6?

I came across set of springs for sale that were removed from a 2002 T/A WS6. The seller states that they are purple in color but he can't make out a brand name. Does anyone know who makes purple springs for f-bodies? These can't be stock can they?

Got it!
Purple is Intrax lowering springs!
Also, I don't think they make them for our cars anymore.

From the crappy pics that I saw of the springs, the color does look a lot like the Intrax. Does anyone have any experience with these? Are there any other purple springs that anyone can think of?

Hello
The purple springs are Intrax's. And they are pretty much like the Eibach sport lines. They are a really aggressive lowering spring.
Take it easy,
Brad

What is the height of the stock springs if measured from the bottom to the top of the coil while out of the car?

I just took a set of Intrax off my car and I dont think you'll be happy with them...yes the stance looked cool as hell but you couldnt drive the car and enjoy due to both car and suspension bottoming out on everything possible...I have gone to Stranos that sit about 1" higher and its made a would of difference for me both handling and ride of my car...jus my thoughts

why would you risk your whole ride/handling for some unknown spring when you can get good quality new springs pretty cheap. makes no sense to me at all.

I have Hotchkis springs listed for $244.99.
http://www.zenithmotorsports.com/98-...ilsprings.aspx

I also sell the Eibach pro kit for $229.99
http://www.zenithmotorsports.com/eib...02-f-body.aspx

Either of which IMO would be a better option than buying used springs with an unknown history.
