[Shotimes] RE: I can't decide between SS linear and Eibachs.

[Robert Bruce]

I have heard of several spring / strut combinations, but never hear of
anyone running Intrax / Tokikos.  Do I have the only SHO with this
combination (on the 93)?

You won't be able to get the SS Linears unless you snag a set off of eBay,
or someone, as they are not made any more.  Have to be careful they weren't
an early set with even height issues.  Which SHO are you thinking about
changing?

>From what I can tell from photos, the Linears lowered my SHO as much as the
Intrax Progressive springs do, which is about .25" to .5" more than the
Eibachs.

Ride is not bad as the spring rates are not that great, much less than the
Progressive springs in max compression.  I have Koni's with mine.  I test
drove 3 SHO's with suspension variations; Eibach/ Tokico, Eibach/ Koni and
SSL/ Koni.  I liked the SSL/Koni setup at the time.  I'd like to ride in an
Intrax/Koni setup see what it is like.

Tell us more about those linear springs.  Is the ride harsh?  How much did
they lower the car?  I can't decide between SS linear and Eibachs.
Thanks,
