2KRacing - 1989-1995 lowering springs source - scam or legit?

[myotis1134]

Hey guys,
Finished up the front suspension makeover, in preparation for the "professional" sub-frame alignment, only to discover that I had forgotten to remove a washer from each strut-rod when I coated them during the clutch swap last year - which had apparently resulted in tweaked wheel alignment which could not be adjusted out of the steering. I was convinced that the sub-frame had shifted, but after completing installation of the front suspension - which included new strut-rod bushings and washers - the steering is now damn near dead-on straight. Still going to get the front and back aligned, but the sub-frame no longer looks like an issue. The ride height of the new front struts does, however.

I was very annoyed to find that the new struts I built push the front end up even higher than the old units did. I even ordered some Monroe sensa-tracs, rather than use the KYBs, and now I've got maybe a ride height that's a good inch higher. I know it takes a moment to settle, but damn. Anyways, I was browsing around for lowering springs and came across this website 2KRacing.com, who is selling a lowering-spring kit for 1989-1995. I'm thinking very hard about ordering this kit, but given how scarce lowering springs are, it seems too good to be true.

Does anybody know anything about this site? They're selling the Eibach Pro-Kit, but the part number they have listed is not associated with Eibach. I just attempted to call them and got an odd message about them reopening in June... yeah. I'm in the middle of shooting them an email to ask about the specifics on this spring kit, but I'm not going to hold my breath. It seems more likely that someone here has already dug into this.

Appears to be a legitimate business. Probably not in stock as it is discontinued by Eibach. Eibach part# 3528.140

I agree alot of parts places don't remove discontinued items from their website. You can always reach out and see if an old set is sitting on a shelf. Most online sites just dropship.

=======================

I may have some lowering springs in the garage still. Or rather, I definitely have some springs, and I'm sure that the purple ones are the Intrax, but without digging out quite a bit of stuff I can't say whether I have both front and rear. As Nick might attest as he did much of the work, I went through a variety of springs, and I think the modified Konis, before I bit the bullet and went to full coilovers. I can't find any specs for the Intrax in a quick Google; they made lowering springs for quite a variety of cars as did Eibach. I may have some file information on them somewhere. I recall that lowering was on the order of an inch front and half inch rear, but it /has/ been twenty plus years so won't swear to these figures.
If you're very interested I can go digging. I'd let the springs go for $125 if I have the full front & rear, plus shipping. Any additional parts like the rubber seats or struts would add a little to the cost.
I don't check in here daily. Let me know about your level of interest.

Just curious what you went with for a coilover setup, I've heard some guys modify gen 3 coilovers to use with gen 1/2. Looking to get my 89 lower than it is right now. Currently its on cut moog cargos/ sensa tracs. Thanks.
