    Need help on springs?

    Hey whatz up,

    I don't do much threads because I just reply your Q's, and I know alot about my car too. I want to lower my car because my Eibach prokit springs only lowers 1" and it sucks.

    In my area (Kansas and sometimes when I go to Missouri) snows here and want your help whether to get tein H-techs (1.3"f;0.8"r) or intrax springs (1.7"f;1.6"r) or others with out the rear-end lean?

    Thanx.

    I had the H-Tech's on my '94 Corolla (same drop from 93 to 02), and I drove my car all last winter with them on and with just a good set of all season tires on... and I live in New Brunswick, Canada (not uncommon to see -40C (works out to approx. -40F) a few times over the winter... and we usually get a lot of snow... no problems whatsoever... so i'd say the H-Tech's would be a good choice and they ride nice too...

    I may consider more on teins than intrax. Hookedup96rolla live in a place where it may snow and i don't know how the hell he goes through it. Any one got pics on how it looks like on teins?

    If you want something lower than Eibach's, similar to Intrax drop but stiffer I have to recommend B&G springs. I had them on my AE102 and never had any issues with snow. They're definately stiffer than the Intrax, but still offer a more than tolerable ride for daily driving.
