That would be cool, I could use a slightly bigger drop... You will probably need Rookie's custom camber kit for the rear and the H&R camber kit for the front?

But in the description it says "Requires Camber Kit Front-99.9.013"

so the Intrax springs are discontinued. If someone has a set on their shelf I'd see how it handles. I'm debating about just ordering a set of H&Rs and cutting 1/2 coil off.

Cut a half coil and shave the rear spring mount if you want it lower in the rear.

rookie you got old shots of how low you were before the widebody? i want to be slammed and get 24x9's for the spring

I'm on h&r's but I want to cut half a coil myself.. when you say shave the spring mount, ??? is it plastic or ??? guess I gotta get under there & see 
Conrad from the org mentioned to remember to do a cold cut and use no heat to avoid possible sagging problems later on.
I think that's a great tip.

I'll find some pictures with the h&r set up. To be slammed on 24s figure out your tire sizing before trying to slam it. Too tall of a tire and it will limit how low you can lower it in the front. too tall and full lock turns will rub.

Rear upper spring mount is rubber. There's a thread on g35driver about shaving it. I never even tried running the h&rs unmodified. We cut the fronts and shaved the rear mount out of the box.

It is a great tip. We should have a discussion on the eibachs on longterm vehicles. Maybe its just me but the 45s look to keep getting lower and lower over time. Wasabi and conrad are 2 good examples. Both are running shorter tires than stock, yet their wheel gap look to be pretty small compared to newer eibachs. This isn't an eibach vs h&r thing, just something I've noticed.
Now that you mention it - my FX45 is pretty low with H&R's.
What's your initial thoughts? That the H&R's are not good long term or that Eibachs are not good long term?
I love the soft ride of my H&R's and the stance it gives with the drop. It's clearly noticeable and different than a FX35 of my buddies with H&R and Eibachs (regardless of what springs they have).
I think I had them for a year so far - if I can get 2 more years I'd be happy. I'm sure my struts/shocks will have to be replaced then anyways?

Hmm... So both Eibach and H&R springs sag the 45 over time? This isn't an issue on the 35??

Being lower the 35s is to be expected. Is it getting lower and lower?
If it is, not measurable. It took about a week to settle - a noticeable difference. After that - it stayed the same.
Yes - 45's are heavier.

If it's staying somewhat the same that's a good thing. I wonder if Pierce has a measurement or picture from his initial lowering.

Here's the rear spring mount.
I still have the piece I shaved off, will try to find both ends since I don't have the spring mounts in place anymore.

This was the day after we installed the H&Rs. Doesn't even look that low compared to the 45s.
