Anyone know where I can get some 2" or more lowering springs?

I've got a set of Intrax Springs that are waiting to be pulled from my '93, but I need to go out in the cold and rain to do that one of these days. :lol:

How soon do you need them by?

How much of a drop are they? I think I need 2" or more since mine is at stock ride height and wheel gap is ugly. I'm going to be buying some aftermarket rims later and want to give my mx-3 a "makeover" along with so much needed body/paint job.

I forgot to take pictures for you! Crap, I knew there was something I had to photograph -.-

I'll take them now, please give me a few moments.

Edit: Here they are!

The blue car is lowered on Intrax/KYB GR2s, the GR2s are worn, and the tallest gap is the closest to what you would see with new struts.

The black car is there for comparison only, it's my daily and is lowered on progressive ground controls with ExcelG(GR2) struts as well.

Basically, they'll drop you BELOW "even" wheel gap around the tire. I have a thing for symmetry, and they were a little lower than I liked honestly, but not by much. I do however love the ride quality, it's close enough to stock that I didn't mind it one bit. My GCs are a little harsher in comparison, or were, before I replaced all 4 struts.
