what u guys think?

My suggestion don't get them. I purchased them back in the summer and it was the roughest ride I've every had. It was real bouncy and hard. I had to strap my sub down because every bump I hit my sub was literally jump around in my trunk. The front was stiff but hard. Plus it still left like a 2 finger gap at the lowest level. That's my experience. With them. I now have tokico blue struts with sprint springs big differnce but I want to go lower so I'm putting my bid in for the raceland coilovers. There's a thread posted in the "suspension" section. Good luck.

well what u think???

well i know skunk2 is meant for there suspension..

my experience with the skunk2 coilovers well i loved them.. since im into stiff suspension.. i had then on tokico blues so it wasnt so great but in pretty sure if i had illuminas like i do now then i would have loved them even more lol.. right now im running 10k coilovers in the front and 8k in the rear on illuminas.. but anyway i daily drive my car and love stiff suspension but its up to u.. the skunk2s are stiff.. bouncy i would say not like blown suspension where it looks like the car is bouncing like a basketball it depends on the shocks too.. and as he was saying about hin not going lower than a 2finger gap might be cause be had longer shocks but the skunk shocks i think are a a little shorter..

[jimmybean21]

I think it was more the sturts then the coilovers cause h22anow has the skunk2 coikovers paired with tociko illuminas struts and he said its rides close to stock. But his drop is not real low.

[xafbx]

well the skunk2 sport shocks says its meant for low rides...the question is does anybody have them on....i wwant stiffness ride...made good turns....but u know i will understands bumps...like on freeway would it be bouncy or no?

[jimmybean21]

I had skunk2 struts still have them laying around some where.

[xafbx]

well...idk...imma get the shocks....idk if thats the same

[jimmybean21]

In my experience it was real bouncy on the highway. At first I thought it was just me but I let 2 other member drive my car(ncoutlaw and childrey91) and they agreed. I wish you were local cause I would let you try them out before spending you money.

[xafbx]

yea i know what u mean...

idk.....i am kinda trying to find whats stiff yet of a nice ride.....u know....
like a stock feel of a ride//but to be stiff...
hahahaha

[jimmybean21]

Check my MR thread page 7 I have pics of the skunk2 shocks and the dropped I achieved. The rear could of went much lower but I didn't have any more room to go in the front.

[jimmybean21]

What about function and form type 1's they cost about as much as the skunk2 set up and I here they are great. I have no personal experience wit them just here say.

[CB7xTURBO]

i have illuminas and they are great shocks.. i had 2 sets.. one was brand new.. i put the ones that were on my car onto my bros cd5 paired with ground control off the shelf rates for a civic and his ride is really comfortable yet stiff.. i would recommend illuminas or koni yellows.. or for full coilovers i also hear the type1s are good but save up some more and get type2s..
