Intrax = Best Spring
Well, the real reason for this post is to answer the question people ask 1 million times (what are the best lowering springs ).
I had H&Rs on my last GAGT, I just put Intrax on the new GAGT and I must say that the Intrax look MUCH better. I wasn't a fan of the H&Rs because IMO they leave the ride too raked. Eibachs are too level. Intrax are perfect! Low, yet a slight angle just like stock. It looks so good that I even think the car looks swet with the stock wheels on it, and I generally don't like the look of our cars lowered with stock wheels and tires because of the "balloon" effect. The Intrax leave just the right amount of whel gap front and back. And the Eagle's go on the new ride soon.

Bob, do you think you could get some pics of it, I really want the back end of my car lower than it sits with the H&R's, I have only seen a few, if not no biggie, thanks.

I'd have to disagree. H&R's are still nicer and I don't have to sacrafice my sexuality for them either.
Intrax = gheyest spring.

I love my H&Rs too, but I like the look of the Intrax in the back.

I love my eibach's. I don't want any lower of a drop, and I've heard the ride is crappy with intrax. Ride is most important to me.

bob's car does look hot with the intrax...even though they are purple, but you don't see them anyway since there is very little wheel gap, but if you don't like the purple, you could always paint them. Bob, you car is gonna look dope once you put the eagles on.

And not to get in a p1ssing contest, because to each their own, but the RX7 community has a bunch of problems with Eibach, and they have a ton of autocrossers (I believe because Eibach's are not progressive rate). Simply put, people are always contacting me asking about wheels and springs. In accordance with AMRAAM's KNOWLEDGE Intrax springs provide the best LOOK for our cars and that is what I suggest. If you want a jacked up ass end get H&R. If you want to play beer pong on your roof, get Eibach. If you want a lowering that leaves your car identical to stock but with less wheel gap, then get Intrax. And another FYI...there is no damn clearance difference!! P.S. A 1995 Beretta Z26 is not a "best ride" P.S.S. I will try and get a pic of my car today with the work digital camera
