Intrax any good for my B15?

I have a 05 Nissan Sentra 1.8 S Special Edition

I found Intrax in some magazines and looked at their website:
http://www.intraxsuspension.com/products.html
They offer 4 products..
INTRAX Anti-Roll Bar
Chamber Kits
Lowering Springs
INTRAX ARS coilover shocks
are these any good for the B15?

also, when I searched... the only results for sentra were springs..
NISSAN Sentra 00- 60.1.034 Spring B51 1.7" 1.7" 289
yes I would be satisfied with 1.7' drop as long as I dont scrape the floor on hills i'm happy (san francisco has a lot of hills) but do I need shocks also? what shocks will fit with these springs?

they say I can use the original shocks:
A4: Yes, Intrax designs all of its progressive lowering kits to work with the original equipment shocks. However if you have 20,000 miles or more on the odometer, consider upgrading. A good sport shock is always a wise investment to ensure the ultimate performance and handling your vehicle can obtain. In addition, most OE shocks start showing, although subtle, a remarkable reduction in dampening ability around this mileage.

but 20,000 miles??? o.0

i dont think after 20K. your stock struts and shock aren't made to compress that much with the new springs, but if you only lowering it 1.5" then it will slow the wearing process down. you'll need new ones eventually.

Actually you have that backwards. The increased spring rate and drop will cause the shocks/struts to fail more quickly.

I think the Intrax springs are marginal. I would use Hypercoils or a similar spring coupled with Koni Yellow shocks.

i did write it backwards. my mistake, i made it seem like aftermarket springs are better for the stock set up.
