Doesn't seem like they ever existed, Intrax says they discontiued them, but I question if they ever made them! Can't even find a used set for sale.

diamond's right, Intrax lower tooooooo much & have a miserable ride. Plus, what're you going to get for struts? GR-2's? Won't live long with those springs wrapped around them.

Eibach makes a set, don't they? Do yourself a favor & don't go any lower than they make a kit for. Ya can't lower a Nissan like an older Honda, there's not enough suspension travel.

You could do Ground Control coilovers & GR-2's if you want it lower than the Eibach, but ride quality will suffer the lower you go.

hey heavy,can you give him some part numbers.oh,and coilspring specialties online makes spring to order for you.;dont no there wed addy.they will have to be soft or bounce you will.but ive never used 20% over.only 40.you cant nfind them.theresn no gap at all in mine.but it takes an comitment to make this ride hieght work.there cannot be body roll.and reliefs must be made in the plastic over fenders.plastic is about1.25 from my tires.have to hit a turn much harder than a stock one for it to touch,i mean,hard.its like a roller coaster.really feels like when slamming to a stop.you do not get thrown forward whatsoevr.nothing on my floor board,lol.-anyway what im saying is its a big undertaking to do it right.smooth but stout.car has camber issues oem,my opinion.i think it helps personally.be ready to go thru tires

He could go to Ground-Control.com, call them & tell them what he wants as far as ride, intended use (street, drag, autox/road race, etc.

For p/n info on KYB, go to KYB.com

KYB, ba$tards, one of my employees even gave them the correct Kanji they're using as the logo for their corporate shirts. Long story.
