I've got 55K on my SVT right now... and the stock suspension just isn't feeling as tight as it used to be. So, I was thinking of doing the Intrax w/ ST200's. From what I've read... the ST200's are a bit more aggressively valved than my SVT struts?! Will they hold up to the 1.8'' drop of the intrax? Thanks guys! Hard to pass up that combination for only 350 bucks.

Well, I knew someone selling used Itrax for 150, also, I WAS going to get the ST200 struts from BAT... but, I just checked... and it looks like they're sold out!!! Damnit... Still, anyone have any opinion on what that setup would be like?! Thanks!

1.8" drop on an aggressive linear rate spring...
IMHO, that would be too much for the ST200 struts to take. I'd use them with a milder spring like Roush or Eibach.

I have been running a set of intrax springs on my 95gl, i have been using stock struts and have had no problems, the springs stiffened up the ride nicely. If my GL springs can hold up your SVT springs should work just fine i wouldn't even bother switching the struts.
