IMO, there are much better spring choices than Intrax. Their quality isn't exactly top-notch and they don't ride that well. Get the same shocks for the rear of your car too, doing just the fronts will upset the balance of your car and can make the handling unsettling and possibly even dangerous. Lowered on stock shocks is never a good idea and will more often than not actually hurt performance.

All I got to say is that anything's better than the cut springs that make noise when I steer. I got that stuff off ebay for cheap, and I don't plan to be trying to out handle anything any time soon.
I just hope the springs don't drop it anymore than it already is. I actually hope they raise it up a bit to try and stop the tires from rubbing.

HAHA damn, yeah they will be better than cut springs! At least order some KYB AGX shocks for the rear too. Might as well do it once, do it right.

The guy before me was a real smart one. He didn't like the alpines so he broke em, and then instead of taking them out he drilled new holes for new pioneers.
So now my door panels are junk.

Well, got my used Intrax springs and front KYB shocks in. They're going in tomorrow. I'm so happy to get rid of the pos cut ones.

Good deal on the AFC. Get it dyno-tuned up here in the Cities.
...and buy new rear shocks! How many miles on those front shocks?

I have no idea how many miles are on them. But I installed them yesterday, and it rides and drives like a dream now. I'll get some rear shocks when I see some used on ebay.
Twack helped me install the S-AFC yesterday too. Made a few of those learning mistake, but she's good to go. Really neat how I can look at my throttle position and have a 4 digit rpm gauge.
Now I need a data logger, and I'll have to have her tuned.
EDIT: Here's a pic of the RF spring....could explain why it was hard to steer and made noises all the time:
