Lowering Springs

[deevergote]

I don't know if anyone said already but you can get a set of Skunk2 shocks off ebay for $294.00 + S&H. Got those and some coilovers. Pretty good set up.

I tried the whole lowering on stocks and got some good springs but the stock shocks werent holding up to good. S2's are great.

Skunk2 shocks are absolute shit.

Why didn't you tell me sooner Deev. LMAO, cuz i do bounce but it's like a caddy bounce. I was thinking about going back to springs from the coilover sleeves. I just liked to be able to adjust them. When I finish paying off my explorer this year I might go for full coilovers.

I've been saying it for years. I lost a LOT of respect for Skunk2 with their shocks... a brand that has generated so much respect over the years shouldn't release suspension components for a car that it knows nothing about, with shocks and springs that arne't even properly paired. Skunk2's spring/shock combo (including their coilover sleeves) are on par with cheap "ebay" garbage in my mind.

The only things I'd buy from Skunk2 are H22 parts, because people use them in Civics, and Skunk2 knows Civics.

I see. Well I'm looking for some more stuff anyway. Any particular websites you know for aftermarket parts geared toward our cars.

Suspension... it depends. I'm not a fan of full coilovers (and I feel that many of the "good" ones out there are really just overhyped crap...) so I prefer properly matched springs and shocks. The Neuspeed Cup Kit is my preference. Found on www.neuspeed.com. Camber kits made by Ingalls and SPC are my choice (SPC is best, though I have Ingalls myself.) Sway bars by Progress and Suspension Techniques (I have neither... yet.) Traction bars by ESP (I have one from Collective Racing, though I don't think Scott is selling his anymore... ESP's design is very similar, and just as good.) Strut bars and other chassis brces by ESP.

Engine parts... Bisimoto.

Thanks. I'm going to look into this maybe remap my plans for the car.
