I believe they are you may want to look into a spring with a progressive rate like DMS they are inexpensive as well.

Um... those actually look progressive to me, at least the front springs do... and according to the intrax site they design most of their springs with progressive rates.

Ive also heard that intrax is more of a lowering spring than on designed to handle.

If you're going to lay out cash for new springs, might as well get coil-overs so you can actually adjust them to the exact height you need and specify the spring rate you want. You can get a set of Ground Control CO's for $450.

If all you want to do is lower the car and handling is not important, just save your money and cut a coil off the stock springs.

Yeah, I've seen that site, Uno. My plan is to get the rates, free height, installed height, wire diameter, and drop. That site gave me the idea, I'm just going to take it up a notch.

Stang Killer, I'm going to probably wind up putting it in a MySQL database and loading it up on the new website I'm building... along with a couple of other technical databases... including one on shocks. I'll be sure to let ya know when I'm gettin close... right now I'm just fighting with MySQL and it's winning.
