Intrax Lowering Springs on RS

Post by pauleatstoomuch »

Will they fit my 94 RS without any modification? Corksport says V6 only. I have a set laying around, but don't want to put them on if they wont work right. lol.
Also, will I have to have an alignment after I install them if I just do springs?

Yes they should work, as far as i know the suspensions between the rs and gs are more or less the same, the only difference i could see is the weight difference between the rs and gs engine block... which is probably why it was listed for v6 only because they are designed for the added weight...

They actually offered a few different springs from factory that changed if you had AC or a sunroof...

That and the next page, if you don't believe me.

so, depending on the quality of the springs, you may or may not notice, also, you probably haven't driven on other aftermarket springs, so you'll find them bouncy and harsh, and love them whatever they are.

Ok, so then if I install just the springs, will I have to have a front end alignment?
Thanks for the input.

If you drop more than 1.5 inches (ish, depending on a lot) you cannot get proper camber, and need camber bolts or to oval out the strut.

Yes, after any lowering you need an alignment. a $70 alignment beats $500 tires.
