Post Intrax Springs for 951 $113 for all???

Have any of you tried Intrax springs? NOPI has them for the 944 for only $113 for all four! The drop is 1.25. I have used H&R on BMW's and Eibach too, but a spring isn't rocket science so I'm thinking about buying a set.

New!

I agree, they look tempting but why would you need springs for the rear? They're probably aware that you don't need them and advertise the price for the fronts only. -Trevor

Somethings not quite right. The fronts I can believe, but the rear uses torsion bars, not springs. They generally are well over $200 by themselves. Plus you could lower the car without changing the torsion bars either by adjusting the height or reindexing the bars. I would check, I'll bet they are just talking about front springs. Try to find out what spring rate they are. 200 and 250 are pretty common with ~1" drop.

Those NOPI guys must have a mix-up in their database or something. Or their ad layout person didn't notice that it was front-only.

In either case, I'd recommend getting a Ground Control kit from Paragon Products and converting your car over to 2.5" coilovers in front. Then you'll have unlimited adjustability as well as an infinite amount 2.5" coilover springs.

the price for the springs is right. on the 944 you dont use rear coils so you are just paying for front springs you can adjust the rear ride height of your car by adjusting the bolts near the torsion bar assembly. I think you can go 1" lower my car already had this done when i purchased it. if you dont really want to go very low you can go to the raised spring hats which i believe lower you car like 42 mm or so.
