No prob. I'm not sure if Intraxx are still sold, but I remember Summit used to carry them.

You can try the SVE 2" springs and no iso's (what i have now) but ultimately i think youll have to swap your LCA for those adj MM ones (what ive been thinking about doing)

i dont dig the whole cut the spring method

Well you might have trouble with using rear Sportline springs and adjustable ride height control arms, Sportline springs with no isolators and stock rear control arms barely stay in when you jack the car up since they are so short, also if you go too low in the rear better check how close the driveshaft is to the tranny tunnel.

+1 I run SVE lowering springs(pretty low) and my driveshaft hits the tunnel on a good dip. My pinion angle might be off though.
