Ugh. Drop killers.

Ugh. Drop killers.

yeah. ive heard that. but ill be sure i have them on some sleeves that drop lower than the Skunk2 sleeves i have now. what im gonna do is switch to the ebay sleeves if i have to. the drop i have is perfect for me and id hate to have my drop ruined because of some struts. lmao.

but anything will be better than the OEM struts im on now tho. the drop can always be altered.

axle installed. Skunk2 struts about to go in.

[Shadow1]

aight. i got the front Skunk2 set up installed. if feels better. rides smoother. cant wait to get the rear struts in later today or tomorrow. axle is in too. feels better. car is almost done for the winter. just need some bushings and brakes done and ill be good......for a little bit


the only gripe i got about them tho is the driver side has a finer gap(what i wanted). but the passenger side has a 2 finger gap. ill take a look at it later tho. its starting to rain again....shnit...

Thats odd...if anything I would think it would be just the opposite! Is everything seated correctly?

yeah. im about to go out and check it all out now and put the rears on.


and everyone seems to have issues with Skunk2 struts. lol. i looked at them compared to the OEM strut and the perch the spring sits on sits about .75"-1" higher on the Skunk2 strut than the OEM strut....i adjusted the coilover sleeve to the struts. ill check it out tho.

[Shadow1]

got the Skunk struts on. heres my set up:

-Skunk2 struts
-Skunk2 Coilovers
-front and rear upper strut bar
-c-pillar bar
-195/50/16s Wynstar Escas


i LOVE the ride. OMG!!!! car accelerates smooth now. i replaced an axle yesterday also so that also helped. ill be getting new bushings and a rear sway bar then the suspension will be better. end of the month ill be getting some Megan Racing or Tanabe 8k f./6k r. coils to replace the Skunk2 coils.

new tires also. maybe beginning or next year. thinking about some Khumo's. 205/50/16s. Ronald_TypeR was right. i dont feel to confident about these 195s in the corners. i feel like i cant take the corners as hard as i want.
