Post HyperCoil vs. H&R vs. Intrax Springs

I have my car up on the lift at my mechanics shop and Performance Products
did not come through with their delivery date on my H&R springs so I am
now without my car and paying storage fees with my mechanic.

My question is has anyone used Hypercoil or Intrax springs on their 968?
What is the drop in the car like? The ride?

I can get these springs more quickly although I don't know the spring rate
on the Intrax (intrax.com) springs.

My mechanic say he's 90% sure the Hypercoils will work and Chris at
speed-6.com (who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help me)
feels confident that the Intrax springs will fit well but the supplier
does not know the spring rate (don't ask).

I was excited to get progressive rate springs (H&R) as understand it, it
would give a smooth ride when cruising but would perform well in drivers
Ed, on-off-ramps and aggressive driving which I <i>never</i> do But at this
point with $$$ climbing I need a solution ASAP.

Todd- the coilover modification to the front strutt that Paragon sells is supplied with a Hypercoil coil. I just put these on my car could not tell you anything about them as I have not seen nor driven the car since the mod but I know they were installed. The coilover conversion was not too difficult per Tim.

Got my answer. I tried Karl who was very helpful. I ended up with paragons coilover kit with 250lbs hypercoil 10" springs. Jason is so helpful with emails and calls. I really understand what I am buying and he is overnighting the stuff even at this late hour

Best to all,
