Default 2nd that. I was wanting to lower my CGT, but my new house has a really steep driveway

And I think if lowered, it would bottom out =(

Default I will have some available later this year, but can't say exactly when.

I have Jamex Sportline 1.5" drop progressive springs & shocks on my CGT right now. I plan on going to the 2B coilovers sometime before the summer show season hits (so I can fit some 17's on the car), at which point I'll be posting them up for sale.

Default I've got the same springs, they're nice...

...but discontinued as far as I know. I'll be really curious to see how your coilover setup works with your 17's. I'm wanting to do the same for mine so I can get a little more drop in the rear. There's an E36 M3 around here that I see alot, and he's got about 1/2" of his tire stuffed up in his wheelwell and his front about even. It looks pretty damned good that way, and I'd like to try to do the same. What kinda look are you going for?

I've been rolling on the same 16's for a few years now so it's time for a change. Actually the coilovers swap will be to help 2 things at once. First, I can raise the car about 1/2"-3/4" to clear the 17's I want. Secondly is to give me some more ground clearance for my front spoiler. Having a discontinued NLA front spoiler really makes you cringe when it scrapes a driveway or speedbump. Not like I can easily buy a new one if it breaks.

Default Try Adventon.com They can get Intrax

Intrax still makes lowering springs for our car. I have them on mine they work fine and are stiff enuf for me. I think the drop was 1.5" rear & 1.7" front. My car also has the URQ front mounts which claim another 0.25"... i dont know if i believe that. Cars been tracked a bit and the springs seem to help a bunch. For what its worth.

I *think* that Audi 80/90 FWD springs will work.
