Tokico Eibach vs Koni Intrax

[Toul]

93 mtx, 29mm rear sway bar, subframe connectors.

Ive got the Tokicos and Eibachs on there now. I wish it was stiffer. (thats what she said)

Can someone please tell me what I'm going to think about switching to Koni's and Intrax?

I know the spring rates of the Intrax are much stiffer, as well as the koni's being adjustable from 5-55% stiffer than stock..

Also, if you happen to be in the market, i have a NIB set of both koni's and intrax for sale!

EDIT: This also works as a POR!

29mm RSB?

Jealous?

Jealous?

Kind of. I've heard of it, but never knew anyone actually had one. Where did it come from?


And if you want stiffer, koni/intrax will be.

I THINK shoshop was who made them? I may be wrong though. All I know is that its thick as ****, and red. Was on my SHO when I bought it from Cobria.

IPT I think?

koni/intrax is stiff what i have on my car it can be a lil harsh for daily driving but i have it set to full stiff pogo ever so slightly on a series of bumps

I was really looking forward to getting them installed on my car.. I just haven't had time.. Like i've said, I've ridden in a SHO with this setup and I really enjoyed it!!

The Intrax are marginally stiffer than Eibach. In fact, they start out softer in the progressive coils.

Intrax 30.1.026

Front; 143-266 lbs/in (25.0-46.6 N/mm
Rear; 123-249 lbs/in (21.5-43.6 N/mm)

Eibach 3528.140

Front; 151-257 lbs/in (26.4-45.0 N/mm)
Rear; 149-194 lbs/in (26.0-34.0 N/mm)

hmmm...nice. I didn't realize Intrax and Eibach were that close as far as spring rates. Thanks for sharing the info.

The fronts seem close, but the rears are where the intrax look to be stiffer, based on that. But, it's also a matter of where the rate changes in the compression of the spring. Do the Intrax get stiffer before or after the Eibachs?

didnt realize they were so close but yea i felt the rear end get alot stiffer when i installed them plan on cutting 1.5 coils in the front the drop the nose make it a lil stiffer

Save your money..

i would wait and save for the coilover suspension either i think the selex or w/e that new one is their coming out with i mean its 2k but its only a couple hundred buxs more after buying mounts and the work thats required for the konis plus the spring compressor

Dont know of many coilover-ed SHOs are daily driven on the streets of St. Louis.
