[s-cars] What springs would lower our cars the most?

[Scott Munger]

Dan, I'm running Intrax springs with Bilstein sports.  2.25" drop;  the lowest
I've heard/seen for an S-car with stock diameter wheels/tires.  It's low.  Much
lower would looked slammed.  I have additional clearance issues with the
Stromung.  Speed bumps take a bit of practice and some routes with too much
approach angle are out of the question, but I love the performance and the
look.  High speed stability increased about 15mph or so.

I can't tell you part numbers as I bought the springs from Uncle Bob, but if
you found Intrax for the 100, that's probably them.
