Eibach/Itrax visual comparison.

[nik97]

I recently purchased a '90 and I am considering lowering springs and SFCs as the only suspension mods. I am curious about the look/stance of Gen1 cars with Eibach springs vs. Intrax. It seems as though the front of these cars(lowered or not) is always a bit higher than desired. I'd love to see some pics to compare the stance between the two brands. Also, if anyone has Gen3 wheels on a Gen1 or 2 with springs that'd be awsome

Thanks yall.

 

[nik97]

Anyone?

I have a picture of two gen 2's next to each other, one with Eibach, one with Intrax if you want to see that..

 

[nik97]

Yeah, post it up.

Green car is intrax/koni, black car is eibach/tokicko.
Man, my car looks so much different now.

 

[nik97]

Sweet. I must say that I like the stance of the Intrax equipped SHO a bit more. Your car really looks good tho

Aren't there a lot of bottoming-out issues involved with the Intrax springs? I would like to run Intrax/Koni if there arn't a whole lot of scraping and bottoming-out issues (with normal driving, bumps, driveways...). It's either that or cut some moogs...

as long as you drive right you won't scrape..

Thanks guys. Just what I was looking for. -SHO Continental, are the Intrax springs cut in front? If not, that's the look I would like.

 

[MYSHO1]

Dont cut a coil, it sits low enough with intrax so you do not have to cut....

 

[DDakRT]

Stock on the left, Eibach/Koni on the right. Not much of a difference.

No my intrax springs aren't cut.

[SuperHO]

having both I can easily say..


INTRAX!

 

[nik97]

Intrax it is. Thanks all for helping me with this decision.

 

[SinisterSHO]

My car no longer has Eibach, I replaced them with cut Intrax when I did the brakes. I like the look alot better, but I have not noticed a great difference in handling.

True, Eibachs could stand to be a bit lower. But they're DEFINITELY stiff as all ****. I think the handling on my SHO is exactly where I want it. And honestly, if it were any lower I have no idea how I'd get a jack under it.
