Eibach or Intrax?

I know that this has been beat to death on here but It is up to you all what I get. I and willing to give up ride comfort (sports cars should ride rough) and I am going with the KYB GR2s.

Those are NOT performance shocks. Heck, they are used in stock Camrys!
Get Tokico at a good buy. Super ride, stable, handles great, builds confidence. No negatives unless you are racing maybe. I used them with the stock springs, extremely happy with that, then got the Eibachs due to stock springs sagging in rear (!), still a nice ride, more stable, better handling. And when I towed a small UHaul trailer, 800# total load, they did not sag down and towed fine. They are progressive, so they resist bottoming out. No negatives. I called Eibach tech support, they recommended the Tokicos.

i love my eibachs, but if i were to do it over again, i would most likely do the tokicos. but as of yet i have no complaints and the eibachs still allow me to drive through snow with no problems since they're only an inch drop, but thats just me :)

i have the KYB GR-2 struts and intrax springs and i think its a good ride. its not like koni's or tockiko's but i like how it sits and rides i think it handles a lil better than stock. i also know a few ppl with the same combo and they are pleased as well.

can you tell the sho has a lowered look? i am fully willing to accept that my rear springs are wore enough that i could actually see the rear raise.

I bought the intrax springs because i wanted the car to be lowered enough to see a difference. Plus the intrax springs are cheaper if bought at http://store.yahoo.com/harleynace/fortaurshosp.html . I believe the intrax are stiffer than the eibachs but i could be wrong.
DiI mentioned I love you, in a strict non-*** way. That price is a steal *yoink* I want them soon for my 92. :D

My friend has Eibach's and Koni's and I have all Stock Parts. I could tell the difference in ride height and ride quality. Eventhough Eibach says they only give you about a 1 inch drop, it's very noticable, esp. since mine's stock. The stance is awesome.

Now, if only this snow can melt and it could be about 50 degress warmer, I'd install my Tokico's and Eibach's!!
