i was thinking of purchasing a set of these for my 2g awd talon. i was wondering if anyone has anything good or bad to say about these.. and anything i should kno before i buy them.. or if i shouldnt buy them.
 
Intrax springs have quite a steep drop. (2" if I remember correctly) I had Eibach Sportlines with similar drop, and I didn't like it. Your ride will be a bit harsh, something to consider if you live in an area with rough roads. If your struts are stock or OEM replacement, they won't handle them. Depending on your wheel size, you will also have to start worrying about camber and rolling fenders.
 
i installed a set of these with AGX's on an awd 1g. I know the AGX's are high quality struts, and the ride is rather bouncy. i would say very, but i have ridden in worse. The drop for the 1g i believe was just under 2"'s. I have GR2's with megan racing springs and I'm nearly slammed, with a ride nearly as smooth as stock! I dont suggest these springs, but if its the look your going for i can't argue with tucked tires.
 
The Intrax on KYBs on a 1g car suck. I have this setup and they bottom over bigger bumps, so you have to drive carefully. Gets annoying. I'd recommend something else, from my experiences.

I have them. I thought they wer goin to suck Bought them for 96 shipped so I was going to ressell them, buyt I got bored one day and put them on. They are softer than my goddamn gsx springs, they ride softer. They are not bouncy at all (have em on stock shocks) They lowered it decently, but not too much. Camber is somewhat bad, not mexican like though. These are pictures of them installed. Have not gotten alignment done yet, I know I know. I am getting new tires anyway so I didnt care. The front ones balded out pretty quickly but the rear are having even wear. Went through new pirellis in 5 months (6 autocrosses during that time). Here are pictures with it not aligned..

I figured that would give you an idea of how they are when compressed on either side. Had em for 5 months now and stayed the same height and have not blown out a stock strut (Which I thought I Was going to do) I keep waiting for it to happen so I have an excuse to get a real track setup.
