First off, I'm not tracking the vehicle and am sticking with a boge or bistein sport shock. I'd like, however, to lower the car as much a possible.
With regard to springs I'm undecided. Intarax also claims their springs provide a near-stock feel.

Do I go with Bav Auto at a claimed 1 1/4" or with Inrax at a claimed 1.6 front and 1.2 rear drop? Prices are similar (Bavs @ $280 Can ,Intarx @ $300 Can)but the Bav Autos would kill me at the border in duties/taxes etc. (I'm in canada if you haven't already guessed) while the Intrax are easy to find here.
I know most board members are happy with the Bavs, but I'd like to know if anyone has an opinion on the Intrax.
Also, I'm currently running 15" with 215/60 and wondering whether this is smaller than stock (is 225/60 a stock size). Might this be significant enough to make a difference in appearance. I do notice a small discrepency in mileage. If anyone would like a set of 15" racing dynamic 5 spokers, let me know, I'm looking for some 16 or 17"
Thanks
