    Any 97-03 springs will hit the only difference is that they tend to drop a bit more on the 04-08.

    I don't think Intrax are made anymore unless sourced used. Try Eibachs or B&G if your looking for that big of a drop without going with coilovers.

    I heard that Eibachs tend to not have a great "ride" to them.. i was told ssc is the next best spring...but i guess ill have to go with them?

    I have B&G on GR-2s, and don't mind it all that bad.

    And yeah Intrax are not longer manufactures IIRC.

    Depends on how much you want to drop. SSC are fine as well. Don't expect a luxury ride when you lower a car on just springs. Coilovers would be a better choice for that. Look in the want to lower thread on here tons of information on this.

    Expect only a 1-1.3in drop right away, give them 5,000+ miles before the springs settle some.

    hey guys I have another question and decided to post it here since its about these springs...if I buy the kyb agx struts in like a month or so will these springs work well with them? and if so will it make to go lower then the said drop or would I have to get different springs when I get those struts to go lower?

    with an 05 you would have to change the lower control arms and get some endlinks to make it 97-03ish with AGX.
    Just get some SSC springs(or whatever) and KYB GR2s or upgrade to compg ACDelco FE3s struts

    so if I get the FE3s are those a direct fit or will I need to buy something else to make them fit?
