Hi Folks,

As y'all know, the tire-shock-spring combination is one of the most important to the overall performance on the track. Now that I am getting much closer to placing an order for my GTR (!!!) I have some questions about Intrax. Did a PH search. Didn't uncover the following...

Some shocks have a lifetime warranty. How long do the Intrax shocks last?

Are they rebuildable?

I didn't find Ultima at the Intrax site, so I presume the units used on a GTR are designed for another car. What are the most recent model numbers for front and back?

Is Intrax the best option, or are there better alternatives?

Thanks All. I appreciate your replies.

I did find, "Modular system allows for custom valve settings and repair", on their website. So, I guess they can be fixed. Maybe have to send them in. Doesn't say.

Four years and 12k miles is respectable. A few manufacturers have a lifetime warranty on many of their lines. Couldn't find anything on the Intrax site about a warranty.

Yeah Scott. You've got to send them in for repair. They have a compressed gas inside I believe.
Cheers!

Something like 12 bar. So, if there's a seal leak (see above), they are probably ready for a rebuild.
