ive been hating the 4x4 look of my WS6 so i thought about cutting the stock springs cuz im just going for the look. well i looked around and found a guy selling a set of intrax he had on his car for only 2500 miles. snagged em for 120 shipped. i just put em in today and i am amazingly pleased with the results. btw im still using my stock delphi shocks because like i mentioned its just looks...for now.


looks

perfect is the only word i can think of. intrax advertises 2" front 1.8" rear. i measured approximately 1.75" front and rear. from afar it has a nice lowered look but it doesnt go as low as a slammed airbag look. and it still has a bit of a raked appearance with the rear being just a bit higher than the front. im good at doing alignments so i got the front camber perfect and the rear surprisingly isnt as off center as i expected.

ride

personally i prefer intrax over stock springs when it comes to ride quality. its comfortable because it feels stiffer and i like that. big bumps are harsher but it seems smaller onces are less noticeable.

traction

when i first left my work i mashed the gas and expected crazy wheel hop. believe it or not, there was NO wheel hop. the tires still spun like mad but its cuz theyre worn daytons. i imagine when i get some good rubber my wheel hop will return. im guess its the way these progressive springs handle weight transfer. speaking of weight transfer, when braking the front still dips, but its very smooth and not nearly as far as it used to.

cornering

taking turns is much tighter. theres still a bit of body roll but it feels like i have more control. i really cant take em much faster or really do any crazy canyon carving. from what ive researched shocks are what take car of that.

 

looks good. sits perfectly, and it just puts it at a much more aggressive stance. i can only hope my vogtlands look as good. im feakin out because i get em on tomorrow, and im not sure how its gonna turn out

 

LOOKS COOL...front looks a lil' low though...watch speedbumps and small animals......

 

i got some vogtland springs on my car! i will take a pic of it monday since the car is still on jacks due to exhaust work!

 

Ive had the Intrax springs on my car for five years and loved the look and rode very nice, I removed them today to put QA1 coil overs,

 

here are some better pics:

 

Looks real nice!

 

I get wheelhop once in a while. It doesn't happen most of the time, but will happen on occasion. It might happen to you in certain weather conditions

 

Car looks slammed.

Just curious what does it measure from the ground to the apex of the wheel wells front and rear?

 

Looks good, I am thinking of ordering a set but I have long tube headers and 3 inch exhaust......wondering if it will be too low for my set up.

 

my buddy has an 02 Z28 with intrax and pacesetter LTs and ORY and he doesnt scrape much. hes just careful where he drives. i know my TSP rumbler scrapes over speed bumps.

 

Looks great. Glad you can actually take decent pic's too.

 

stance is very nice, and i love the color. i can tell you take care of your car keep it looking good.

 

Very nice stance on that car!

 

what size tires are you running....I have Intrax on my 86 Monte Carlo SS and i love them on that car expect for the fact that they are purple LOL. At least you cant see them. I just dont want any fender rub with my 275/40r17's. BTW your car looks badass with them on there!!!!

 

you talking about the TDs or cat back?

does it scrape anywhere else like when you are just driving regularly down the road or dealing with driveways? how bout the tranny crossmember, does that hit?

 

Those look almost identical to the sportlines on my car. Very very nice lookin car. I love those rims.

 

Bump

Here is mine with the same set:





Does anyone else who uses these springs have scraping issues? Particularly with headers. I'm looking at getting new headers, but I am concerned with clearance issues. Particularly with what noriceinside said.
