Intrax Springs, Do I need new shocks with them? Options

[Bo0st]

Ok guys, I saw somewhere the fact that our stock shocks can only handle a 1.5" drop, is this true? the reason Im asking is because Intrax offers a drop around 1.8" in the front and 1.7" in the rear ( I think), and if I did put these springs on, would there be any problems?

Last week i puted INTRAX springs in to my celi, now it about 2" lower. And its not bouncy at all, difference between handling is huge. Now it sits low, looks phat and handles like real sports car.

Thats good to hear....if you get a chance could you take a pic of the drop? Just want to see how it looks!

Thanks, Mike

yeah post some pics i wanna see also. How much did they cost you?

[doGGy]

Soon i will post a pic, what about the price, they cost me 100EUR ( it's about 98$). The guy which imported those springs gave me a god discount, becouse otherwise i had to pay about 160$.

so with your intrax springs, it's not bouncy at all?? how did you get them for so cheap? hook me up!!

take some pics too, i'd love to see how low we're talking here....

i got Intrax and then i cut mine 3 coils off front 3 1/2 off back and they still dont bottom out rides like a caddy dude.....

[dayzdchika]

I've always been told it's really bad on your car to cut the springs .... is that true?

cutting springs didnt boter my car at all...........so i guess depends on car.....................i know that it loses its strength a little but hey its lower

there's an old pic of my car back when i had INTRAX springs, and 16s. AWESOME ride on the INTRAX, and no suspension problems. i got rid of them though for the Ground Control coilovers, and after more than a year on them, i'm just now starting to feel something that vaguely feels like blown struts..so that's a year on 1.75" springs, then more than a year on 2.25" drop coilovers. so if you're on a budget, i'd say you could go a while w/o getting struts, but it's always a good idea, i need to, but too broke.
and as far as cutting springs goes..i'd never do it, but i gotta set of the stiffer 97 6th gen springs i will sell someone, if that's the way they wanna go..this way, you got a backup set if somethin messes up, and they won't cost nearly as much as drop springs. if you want em, reply, or PM me.

Is that your car in that photo? If it is, why'd you get rid of your rims? Just curious.

yeah that's an old shot of the car...that pic makes them look really good..but they were so cliche around here, there was at least 3 other cars around town w/ them...that and i liked the 5star design of the wheel i have now...and also, they aer worth more beign toyota wheels.
