just have a couple of questions to get answered before going through with this?? Next week i'm gettin intrax springs put on my ga for around $350. Now i read all the threads about springs i'm really affraid of ruining my car, what is the pogo affect? And will i need to buy new struts and shocks? Will this pogo affect hurt me if i'm not a crazy driver? And if i don't get new struts and shocks will this kill my suspension? Also i really am just going for looks so are these the best springs to get? Sorry about all the questions but i just love my car and don't want to upset her? By the way just to maybe help answer these questions i don't race i'm a very cautious driver since i put the new rims and low pro's on it. I'm not sure if that 2" drop will hurt me to bad. I'm sure i'll have to look at alternitive roads for driving but i'm willing to do that!! Also do i have to get the front end aligned after getting the springs on!

i dont know too much about intrax except that one of my friends told me he hated them. i have eibachs on mine and i love them. i had them put on with my stock struts and its fine. even though i am upgrading, BUT eibachs are made to work with stock or aftermarket struts. and yes u will need an alignment. im hoping to have pics of my car soon. i know that eibachs arent the ones that give the most drop, but they dropped it so the nasty fender gap is gone and they handle so great. hope i helped.

I think i figured it out... Since i'm not really to concerned about performance ( right now ), I'm just going to put on Springtechs for a 1.5" drop.. Could someone help me with this though?? If i plan on driving this car in the winter, do you think my stock tires and wheels would fit on the car without rubbing? I now have 205-40-17's the stock were 215-60-15's...

I just have to ask, why did you go with a thiner tire? Isn't the point the most rubber on the ground as possable?
Anyway, yes your stock tires will fit.

im putting on my H&Rs this week sometime without new struts. im gonna try it without first, if it rides bad ill get new struts. since your car is so new you probbaly dont need new struts.
heres my feeling on all the springs available:
eibach:lowers a little, same ride quality as stock, better handling.
H&R: lowers more, tighter ride quality than stock, better handling.
intrax: lowers more yet, way too tight and bouncy, good handling.
sprint: lowers similar to H&R but no better handling
spring tech: same as sprint
