What do you want? More performance and less luxury, or some performance and still a good level of luxury. The intrax will provide a little bit less performance but still provide a good level of luxury. They are smoother over bumps but still grab the road pretty well. IMO!

 

I have the eibach on my baby and love it. I'm sure it's just a personal preference and maybe price....I feel every bump in the road, and the ride can be a bit harsh (depending on the road) but overall I love it and love the feel and handling of the car

 

So are you guys saying intrax will be less harsh on bumps?? are you sure??

are they still good quality.. I mean i don't want crap.. and the price is only 20 dollars in difference.. and I don't want to go any much more harsher ride than I already have.. I just want the awesome lowered look..

So yeah.. I want the lowered loo,,,, and I don't wanna go any harder on the ride...

If you don't want to have a harsher ride, then don't lower it!!!!!! Either way you'll feel the bumps on the road, but with the Intrax it'll be slightly smoother because there is more separation between the springs. They're both way different from stock though. When it comes to quality, Eibach's are OBVIOUSLY better.

 

ok.. well i;m going with Eibach then... Thanks for help guys... now also as far as spring compressor.. what would you guys recommend??? I mean I don't wanna spend over $20.00 on one.. do all of them fir the eibach springs??? like the ones on e-bay??

 

Oh No!!!! It seems as if they don't make Eibach springs for the V6 3.0 liter jaguar?? or do they.. the only ones I can find are these: http://www.ajusa.com/cgi-bin/stores/...ca3a7bc365c872

and what does w/0 cats mean??? it says V8 w/o cats....

Would these fit?? or an I just screwed?? I have the 2000 jaguar S-type V6 3.0 stock everything

 

You will need to call them and see if they can help you. The v-8 springs will not work on yours and as for the W/O cats..that is the air suspension. w/o means with out.

As for your spring compressor and the cost of it....look at this way....you want to be cheap and spend 20 bucks on something that is going to compress 1,000 PSI of force. If at anytime your cheapo spring compressors lets go....you can say good bye to some teeth.

Good luck.'

 

hey what do you guys think about H&R springs??

are they any harsher than the Intrax or the Eibach... it seems as if they don';t make eibach for the S-type V6 that I have.

What's the drop rate on the H & R?

 

1.3 front and 1.2 rear


Thanks,

Should be just slightly smoother than the eibachs, but nothing you'd really notice. Quality is not an issue here either. H and R is just as good as Eibach.

 

So you're saying H&R are a little smoother,, and a little less stiff?? and as far as quality they are the same???

if so,, that's waht I'm going for!!!

Intrax are way different from Eibach's or HnR's. You will notice the difference from Intrax to the later two, but not between the Eibach's or HnR's. As long as the drop rate is 1.2 and 1.4 from the HnR's, then quality is something you need not worry about.

 

Alright so I;m getting the H&R's!!!

Thanks for all your help!

Cool! Good luck, let us know how it goes!

 

Sorry to bring back this thread from the dead, but I was curious. What ever happened? Did you get the springs? If you haven't picked them up yet, you should be to find the compression rates. That is what determines how stiff the springs are over the stocks.Usually the lower thedrop, the stiffer the springs become.

 

Yeah...what happened with the springs? I'm curious too,bc I was thinking about H&R too....
