Canuck Motorsports springs are about the lowest you can get.

For the most part no... If your asking for spring compatability, yes they are compatible. It was 95 that they changed the rear springs.

There are slight differences in upper mounts and struts and so on, but the springs were the same shape and what not.

so if i got the intrax spring i can put them on my 91 struts? would it be any kind of advantage to putting the 95 struts in the 91 ?

i read about swaping brakes from a 95 to the older rettas im thinkin of doing that since ill be useing the SRT4 wheels off my cavi.

im a total newbie to the berettas

To be clear: 95-96 rear springs will not work on an 88-94.

They will not work... you need to find the correct year for the springs... The perches that are integrated into the body of the rear of the car, AND the rear axle changed so the springs will not fit physically... period.

Do not get Sprints, they are piece of crap that wont fit right from the start and completely fail in couple years, also they advertise to have something like guarantee on them, but they're not going to reply for any inquires about failed products.
