A local guys has them. They springs offer a big drop but the spring rates are too soft. Similiar to the sportline kits. The car likes to bottom out a lot.

Just did a search to find out rates to compare and ran across this thread.

If those numbers are right, these are almost the same as strano springs. So if strano springs are ideal, then how are these "too soft"?

Strano lists at 500/150 f/r

Strano springs are linear whereas Intrax is progressive (from what the one user above stated). Could be the initial compression is too soft causing the car to hit the bump stops too harshly?

What 02TransAm/Batmobile said above, plus Intrax springs SLAM the car. So rates that work great with a 1.2" drop are not going to work as well with a 2+" drop...
Where did you find rate numbers at?
