Default Intrax/Eibach/Bilstein Combo?

Planning on running this combo for one reason, price. I am getting some rear Sportlines for free and front Intrax springs for 50 bucks. Planning on also getting some Bilstein HDs. Anyone have any idea how this will work? I'm not sure how the rear Intrax springs compare to a Sportline if anyone has insight I'd appreciate it.

It's not as bad as you would think for how low it is. Going from the 18's to 17's made the car ride and feel so much better though. Handling is good but terrible over bumps. The roads around me are some of the worst. Intrax/Bilstein HD's.

Depends on what your are looking for. If all your are after is a lowered look then these may work for you. If you want good handling, ride quality, or good launching then you could do much much better.

Intrax springs on Bilstein HDs. I raised the front slightly with some UMI spacers, isolators still on the rears.

What's up with the rear? I've decided to go with Stagg shocks and put the other money towards LCAs and a panhard.
