Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension Intrax springs like or dislike

anyone have intrax springs out there and how are they holding up. so far mine are fine but anyone have them for more than a year.

FYI, I've had them on my old Corolla GT-S for more than 2 years. I drove more than 60,000 miles on them, through two Canadian winters and the car just handled like a dream.

Don't see too many 'tours with them, do you have any pics? If I hadn't gone for coilovers I would have gotten Intrax too.

no pics yet but i do enjoy them myself

i have the intrax on my 96 tour w/ 17" konigs
and i cut the front spring about a coil off and they still ride great .

i Thought it wasn,t good to cut any type of spring plus doing that i wouldnt be going anywhere on the roads in pa. I already have to fix my bumper from bottoming out.

well i had intrax on mine for about 4 months and mine i threw those things out a.s.a.p just cuz they say you get a 1.8 drop and pleaseeeeeeee not even close...drop springs are only good if your getting at least a good 2.5-4inch drop...but if you dont get it...sell them and get either coil overs or adjustable suspension...like the juice on mine

trurida...i would be very interested in seeingg what u have done to your car. As far as drop goes, anything more than 2" messes up camber which isnt good for handling or your tires.

Mysticali that is tru but when you run cross members under the car it makes the support a lot better on the tires...but **** man it really doesnt matter when your body is scraping across the road...but soon enough i will post pictures...but it will be in Lowrider Euro in spring for sure...but if your on the east side at all i'll let ya come scrape around town with me...

pics?

4" drop??? bwa-hahaha :rolleyes:

That would leave less than 2" clearance on the ground effects. Talk about totaly stupid & ignorant.
That's not even bring up the fact of abysmal handling and 1000 mile tire life...

BTW - coil overs give 1-3" drop. Unless of course you mean some 1 off custom set made just for you... :rolleyes:

Others cutting springs Wake up and smell the common sense...
