 I just install Koni/Intrax (rear only so far). I measured the ride height before (w Tokico/Eibach) and immediately after the install. The Intrax lowered the rear by 1/5". I can imagine that this will increase a little bit over time as the spring+mount settle in.

( Was CARFAX VIN:1FACP54Y4MA241510 Blair 91  SHO+ Last Plus)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'tan early set with even height issues.  Which SHO are you thinking aboutchanging?>From what I can tell from photos, the Linears lowered my SHO as much as theIntrax Progressive springs do, which is about .25" to .5" more than theEibachs.Ride is not bad as the spring rates are not that great, much less than theProgressive springs in max compression.  I have Koni's with mine.  I testdrove 3 SHO's with suspension variations; Eibach/ Tokico, Eibach/ Koni andSSL/ Koni.  I liked the SSL/Koni setup at the time.  I'd like to ride in anIntrax/Koni setup see what it is like.Stock Rate (my 95 with slo springs) Front 165, Rear 135SS Linears, F 210, R 170 (Per Vadim)Eibachs soft, F 151, R148Eibachs firm, F 258, R 194Intrax soft, F143, R 123Intrax firm, F 266, R 249Don McKinnon95 MTX - White/Mocha 89k milesStage 1 Power Package with Stage 1camsCanyon Carver Road/Race SuspensionQuaife & HiRevs Competition Clutch -----Original Message-----From: shotimes-admin@autox.team.net[mailto:shotimes-admin@autox.team.net]On Behalf Of DTNesbit@FTC-I.netSent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 11:47 PMTo: SHOTIMESSubject: Re: [Shotimes] Re: FW: CARFAX VIN:1FACP54Y4MA241510 Blair 91SHO+ Last PlusTell us more about those linear springs.
