How do you match springs and shocks then? I have a set of Intrax Springs waiting to go on...what shocks would complement them?

from what i have heard, for a lot of springs, the bilestins shocks are pretty good, stiffer but not like rock. maybe you can give that a try
and personally that's why i usually recommend coilovers, they are engineered together so it's matched

Thanks.
