Default I have H&R Sports. They're great, but...

I'd probably try the Intrax next time around. I'm sure I won't track my car more than 2 or 3 days a year, so comfort is better than performance to me. The H&Rs are fairly stiff. Not uncomfortable or anything, but you really feel it when you hit a big bump or pothole. I hear that the Intrax springs lower the car about the same amount, but preserve most of the origional ride quality.

Then again, this is probably accomplished at the expense of performance. But for street driving, it's probably not even noticed.

Just my $.02

Double check with an Intrax owner, but that's the way I hear it.

Default Matters on which springs you plan on using. I just put on a set of S4 Intrax Motorola cup springs on

my 1.8t and there stiffer then the other springs. I had a set of the Intrax sport springs made for the 1.8 and they were softer then what I have now. But they also make a Super sport spring for the 2.8 and S4 that is a little stiffer then the sports but not as stiff as the Motorola cup springs. But they do go lower, SS= 2.25 front, 2.0 rear and the MC= 1.75"

Default I have Intrax springs. The ride is relatively comfortable around town, but it tightens up nicely...

when I push it through the twisties. I've been VERY happy with my Intrax/Koni setup.
