With coilovers you can play with your ride height as much as you want. I plan on going coilovers when i get the money
This. Eibachs are junk. Mine are sagging and ride like sh*t. I'm going coli-overs when I get the money and time. H&R's are the "cheap" alternative.

So nobody here has any experience with the Intrax springs that are advertised to lower 2" front and back?

If you want to stay on the cheap end, I'd go with H&R. If you want to drop some dough into a great suspension setup, you should contact Maximum Motorsports.

WAYYYY too much of a drop on a regular spring. I'm at like 2.25 front with bilstein HD's and I wouldn't go any lower than that...

Too low my friend. Like a couple guys said, you will basically run out of suspension, and it will really throw off the geometry of the car itself. Mine is lowered 1.5", believe me that's plenty.

OP,
Are you upgrading your struts/shocks and adding CC Plates when you install these new springs?
If YES, H&R SS are probably a good choice(most guys like theirs). If NO, you do not want to drop your car that much(firmer struts/shocks needed, and more adjustment for alignment needed).

There is no short cut to a decent suspension. Save up until you can do it correctly.
My two cents.

Just like exhaust set ups, everyone has their own opinions on suspension. OP the choice is yours.
