Intrax
So far so good, I can't complain, they ride almost like stock with factory shocks. They did lower my car over 2" though and were only supposed to go 1.75". I need a camber kit really bad.
I hope to have pictures real soon.

I got the H&R sport springs. They have a good ride and good looks. Lowered the car a little less than 2 inches.

The ride to me is really good compared to a lot of my buddies cars with >2" drops, and like I said I'm still on my factory shocks.
I have some shitty pictures I can send to you. They are just scanned off of polaroids.

No rubbing yet, I did bend the lip under the rear fender a bit just to give me more clearance,(car stereo stuff in back) but they hadn't rubbed before that.

I've thought about the sportlines, but haven't seen them on our car yet.

Here is mine with Sprint springs and Tokico shocks. They lowered my car 2.25"(F) and 2"(R). Nothing like yours coz I still have the stock rims. 
I actually had the springs for 10 days only. Then I switched to the prokits. (But this picture was taken when I still had the Sprint springs). I guess it's just too low for me. 
If anyone's interested, give me an offer.

I have a 2.2. The ride, surprisingly, is not that bad. It is, of course, bouncier than stock but not as rough as I thought. Maybe it would even be better if I had Konis. The stiffer suspension is really worth it especially on the turns.

That's a 2.25" drop in front?
Wow. Then my car must have went down almost 2.75". My rear tires are just barely tucked.

Hey CLpower,
I just tried to email them to ya, let me know if you get them. They're not the greatest pics but they should give you an idea of how low Intrax springs are.
I just got the mail I sent you back, It looks like the pictures are too big for your mail server (40Mb). I still try to post them tonight. I need to convert them to .jpg files, but I can't do it here at work.

Hey CLpower,
What did you end up getting? I read somewhere that said you got the sportlines. How are they? How much did they drop you?
Any rubbing?

You can check out his post in the main forum 'car talk'
He said that it rubs when he corners hard so he has to trim the fenders..
