Intrax vs. ST
This isn't a 'which is better' thread. This is an are the Intrax for $60 dollars more? Basically, I just want something a little more stiff than the stockers. I am fairly sure the intrax are better overall...but here is the situation. I sold my burned down CR500 for 175. This gives me exactly what I need for the STs (within 10 cents). I would have to wait a little longer to get the Intrax, but are they worth the wait and cash over ST? Thanks for any help!

i think they are? intrax has been around for a long time, and have a very good reputation.
i have run and worked the crap out of my intrax and am very happy with them.
i dont know much about st though.

I can vouch for Intrax also...I have beat on mine for awhile and the are still going at it fine! They also create a very even drop (1.75") with not too harsh of a ride.
...but I do not have any experience with ST's though.

i've had ST's for 2.5 years now, and i couldn't be happier with them...best look, stiffer then stock, but not so stiff to rattle your teeth loose...and for the money, you cant go wrong

my ST actually dropped my car around 3 inches, and the back is almost at wheel tuck because of how heavy my system is, if you want a lower ride without going to coilovers i would say get ST

Thank you all for your help...too bad there is no way to evenly drop and Ecotec...  I guess that that look is still better than the 4x4 look I have going on though, thanks again everyone, ST it is.
