Sprint vs. Intrax

K, I feel like a damn n00b posting this but here is the deal. I am buying my springs off of Amazon.com. (before you ask this is a sort of bonus I got from my work, so it isn't cash, not too worried about price but it comes from amazon.com end of discussion) So, I searched Intrax and Sprint as key words in the search bar and didn't find what I need. I need to know what is the higher quality spring, seemed like sprint has a slightly larger drop. I also greatly enjoy playing in my car in empty parking lots and may want to do a little autocross so a good progressive spring with the least amount of body roll possible is very important to me. Obviously getting performance is a key issue with me and not necessarily the amount of drop. (anything better than stock is good with me ) So before I buy, anyone who can comment a little on their experiences and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also, I have a 2.2 so if there is a difference on which is better for those of us without the V6 would be great if there is a difference. Thanks in advance to all

Robert

Edit: I would like responses ASAP so I can order these and get them installed this weekend : )

sprint is cheap and good if you never plan on using a body kit, however you need to replace the struts with these, or it will kill the stockers in no time and it seems the back drops a lil more then the front for v6 cars, yours should be fine.

I've had intrax since 2000 miles and I never had an issue...they cornered well and you were able to use the stock struts with them, no issues.

You should think of this as downpayment on your new struts and do it all at once....

I will do struts when I get another reward like this stockers will be fine and I will try to save up for some kybs

Edit: The reason that I am not worried is because my dad has a shop so it's not like I have to pay more later... besides the fact my car has less than 35k miles on it lol and I think the struts have a little more in em yet
