Photos of intrax springs & window visors, what do you think?

Here's a recent photoshoot down in the New Haven Harbor area. Just put in the intrax springs, new rear wheel bearing, and window visors. I'm very satisfied on the look, as a matter of a fact I get quite alot of looks now Handling is superb on the highway, and still superb at occasional "faster than highway speeds" . The ride comfort is diminished a tad but the solid handling response is well worth the trade. It feels solid on the road now, no sway, or boatish response. I'm very very happy

Sorry Zed haha glad everyone likes it though, I'm still debating on the visors myself. However, they are a "legsaver" when its raining going through the MacDonald's drive-through.

btw I really appreciate the deal Albert, we are going to dearly miss our fellow W124 buddy!!!

Looks great! The drop is perfect with those springs. Do you know which spring pads are on the front & back?

I think the germans would frown upon the visors....they may come flying off at autobahn speeds!

Whatever pads were stock, next time I have the control arms off I'll have to write some part numbers down, I didn't think of it at the time .

I agree Optimizer and you Honestly, they are there for practicality reasons rather than cosmetics. On that note though I don't think they look bad, its just the fact that it would look better without.



......Now I need to RE-fix that damn front spoiler....the plows really did a number on it. Each morning after a storm I'd find pieces of my spoiler buried in the snow pushed up against my car, it was quite depressing. Maybe I'll go through with finding some nice rectangular lights to mount.

BTW did anyone notice the tints? 25% all around.

That's honestly the exact look I want on my wagon. How much did the springs run ya if I may ask?

Anybody able to compare H&R and Intrax?

The drop is great and your car is looking so good now, but IMO it would be better without the visors.

Thanks alot guys! It's finally matching the "dream" image I've had in my head for so long now. I got the springs AND those visors for a really good deal from Albert (all for $200). I have noticed only on the turns my front fenders get some beating. They NEED to be rolled, my tires are getting shaved
