What makes INTRAX springs better? INTRAX designs most of its lowering kits with progressive rates, to satisfy the two features you have asked for most. First, the lowered look. Most other brands springs are linear rate, as this is cost-effective but does not necessarily provide the visual effect you desire. By designing a progressive spring, we achieve the lowered look while maintaining safety standards of spring preload at suspension droop. The second requirement is ride quality. Since most of you identified that you drove 90 percent of your mileage to and from work, you wanted to retain some ride quality enjoyed with OE springs. If you are driving to work on a racetrack, Sport or Race springs from other brands may be for you. INTRAX progressive springs provide high performance looks and comfortable ride quality.
INTRAX creates the finest springs, from start to finish. INTRAX springs begin the forming process with cold winding to the most exacting standards. Within two hours of forming, springs are stress relieved in an oven (not to be confused with heat treating), and then shot peened to remove surface imperfections and further relieve internal stress. This can extend service life of a spring up to 200 percent or more. Next, the spring is blocked (wound to a longer length than required, and set in a hydraulic press to obtain designed free length). This eliminates the settling other brands require, due to the lower cost of their production processes. Finally, springs are Phosphate coated for corrosion resistance, and electrostatically powder coated to ensure a lifetime of outstanding looks.
These coils are a variable rate, so you don"t have to deal with a bone-jarring ride, but when you lean on it in a corner, you get the higher spring rate the car needs. The coils come powdercoated in our Sebring Silver so they will stand out amongst the sea of black under your car.
H&R Sport Springs Stage 2. The most popular spring in H&Rs line-up, Sport Springs will lower your vehicle an average of 1.5 - 2 inches (depending upon the make and model of your vehicle) for a lower center of gravity, improved handling and a more aggressive appearance. Sport springs feature more control than that of the OE Sport spring, but is still comfortable for daily use. Sport springs are an excellent choice for street and occasional track use.
Skunk2 Racing lowering springs give your car superior handling performance and an aggressive stance with an extra smooth ride. The same engineering and quality that goes into our racing springs also goes into all of our lowering springs. Each spring is CNC-wound using SAE 9254 spring steel, shot peen stress relieved, and corrosion protected using phosphate and powder coatings. The result is a spring that specifically offers racecar handling, yet maintains smooth and comfortable ride characteristics. Lowers approximately 2.0-2.5 inches, depending on application.
TEIN S.TECH Spring is an excellent step towards suspension tuning.
They offer approximately a 1.5 inch drop for a more aggressive appearance. Comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
Spring length is guaranteed not to sag more than 5mm and to be clear of any manufacture defects (see limited warranty for more details).
* One year limited warranty.
* High-grade material adapted to improve guaranteed satisfaction.
* Rubber spring protector sheet to prevent noise (most applications).
TEIN Hight.Tech springs utilize the latest spring and material technology to optimize comfort, performance, and quality. The line is produced with Vanadium (SAE9254V), which is strong, lightweight, and has properties to retain more spring stroke. High.Tech springs are designed for those seeking a slightly lowered stance while maintaining high ride quality at a reasonable price. Most vehicles will attain a 1.2 inch drop for a more attractive appearance, added performance, and excellent comfort. Included is a one year limited warranty.
