Worth the cost?
Wondering if instead of buyin' cheap coilovers in 1000$ range would it be better to buy 4 tokico gas dspec shocks + 4 intrax lowering springs + 2 intrax stiff sway bars ?
any expected camber issues tought?
daily driving + track week end
thanks

Can you get 100% accurate info on the Intrax springs, I mean accurate to the point then when you open the box you don't say "hey they lied to me"?
Are the springs linear or progressive?
What are their spring rates?
Things get more complicated when we consider camber issues and also mention weekend tracking. And yet we can't stray from your desire for a daily driver mon-fri. IMO, I would consider the following.
Tokico D-spec shock and spring setup
$669 1.2"/1.2" linear springs 375lbs/375lbs
Camber will NOT be within oem specs, but are you willing to accept those specs in a bid to make your weekend track event's more productive? If not will you buy front and rear alignment fixes or just the rear?
Tokico D-specs with RSR down springs
@$754 .6"/.6" linear springs 345lbs/427lbs
Camber will be within spec.
For sway's, only buy front and rear adjustable bars that have the collar system you like (or be ok with having to add them on) from a brand that you trust that sells at a price point you feel is justified. I will list a few.
Stillen: adjustable front and rear, built in collars
Hotchkis: adjustable front and rear, no built in collars (should be added IMO)
EVO350: adjustable front and rear, comes with collars that you add on
Eibach: adjustable front and rear, built in collars
