Ugh I hate it when I have to say this, but search before you post wink Not simply to save space, but this question has been well discussed before. Bottom line is intrax is the lowest option for the SHO(besides coilovers) and combined with the konis you will be very happy. If you go koni/intrax, koni/eibach, eibach/tokico, or intrax/tokico you'll be happy. I think eibachs are best suited with tokicos and intrax with konis for some technical reason(ask Drivinhard or someone with expierience on spring rates and stuff). One other note is the konis are great if you want adjustability, but are you really going to use them? I might start more, but honestly I physically adjusted mine maybe 3 times last year. In the back it is a PITA because there is no room to get the **** on the adjuster. In the end it'll boil down to cost and ease of installation. Tokico and either eibach or intrax will be the easiest and cheapest and koni will be more expensive and more difficultand expensive because you have to utilize the factory strut housing. Good luck and remember that strange button labeled SEARCH exists thumbs_u Final note: check shox.com for cheapest prices and summit racing for springs. Shox is $459 for all 4 tokicos and summit has intrax for $209? I believe + $7 handling fee.

I went with the eibach/tokico set up a couple of months ago and new s/f bushings at the same time.
My 94ATX dropped about an inch in front and not at all in the rear. I had a real problem with scraping the front of my car getting in/out of my driveway with my original struts/springs but with the eibach/tokicos, even though an inch lower I don't bottom out at all. I guess the old suspension was really sagging.
The new ride is incredible by the way. So much better than when new (original owner speaking).
