Not hating on them at all. They can be probably the best ones out there for optra5/reno for all I know. But how can I review/comment on them if I never used them?

My point... Everybody keeps saying that the Apex is the best... (Am I the only dude with the Intrax kit?) Really how can y'all say that? It's all in what you are looking for... I guess Apex is supposed to be close to the Eibach... But, I have a homey that has the Eibach kit and the ride is stiff and bumpy... To racer... If the Apex ride is close to that, then that's not what I want in my everyday ride to work car. The Intrax springs give the same look, but the ride is more normal... It's all in what you are looking for in ride quality... Am I wrong?

No kas your not. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that more people here have heared of Apex and not of Intax. Or want more of a stiffer ride. I believe there is two people here that race their cars so a stiffer suspension tends to help things. I am leaning to a stiffer suspension as well since its more to my driving style. I know I will feel the cracks and pot holes more, but I feel them already so its not like I am going to be loosing anything in that department.

I cant commend on the intrax or the eibach. If someone can give me good links for each with lots of info and pictures I can tell you what the best one for each of your tastes would be.

The reason I say apex are best is because the way they are designed they suck up a bit more bumps, yet they are just as stiff as the other springs, and they have one of the biggest drops from stock.

Is anybody getting any bump stop when hitting large bumps or pot holes? Dropping the car that far down on either spring company worries me.

yeah if ur racing on a freakin curvy road or turning a corner. but if the road is generally slightly curvy or straight..it wont give u much of an advantage, Intrax gives u that nice 1.5 lowered look and its stiffer then stock ...my vote goes for the Intrax for the price.

Nope.. if anything I used to drag the bottom of the car. Though with 5 people in the car you can bottom out the suspension on bumps
