Wassup guys! Just wondering if anybody had pics of an FA5 lowered on Skunk 2 Pro S Coilovers? I also want to know how they ride? If they are close enough to "stock"! How low do they drop you? And have they experienced camber wear? Any help would be highly appreciated!

look in the picture thread and there are some pics. search and youll see many threads about these coilovers.

The ride is very stiff. no so much bumpy just STIFF! they go prety low but the rears dont get anywhere near as low as the front. when lowering the car on coilovers i sugest getting camber kit b/c if you lower the rear all teh way you will need adjustment.

Thanks for the help!
Yea i was planning to go ahead and order a rear camber kit!
Its my DD so i dont want to be riding in a bumpy car all day!!
Thanks again!

I dont know, haven't installed them. They're seksi though. Heavy. Not for the right car.

Greg50Lt

np and good luck with the search for coilovers. btw its going to be very hard to make a decent ride with coilovers or atleast close to stock. You might wanna try doing a spring shock compo

yo_yo_yo

lol thanks for the pic man!
now slap them on there and take some more if you dont mind!
well yea i understand there going to be bouncy but hopefully not to much!
so i think pro s are a good choice! what are you dropped on Greg50LT?

Greg50Lt

I gave you my review based on the fact that i am dropped on the skunk2 pro s coilovers. they are good for the money.

yo_yo_yo

oo!
do you have a rear camber kit?

Greg50Lt

yes i have the skunk2 rear camber kit no front camber kit

kozanatos

keep your eye on ebay.
I got my set for $500 Shipped ('free shipping')
but then again, i have an EG. The guy never installed them on his Teg or something. They were all unwrapped except 1. original packaging. wait for a deal bud, unless you are in somewhat of a hurry.
Skunk2 Pro-s Coilovers (even came with spacers for a 96-00 civic)

yo_yo_yo

No im in no kind of hurry!
But im kind of **** when it comes to my car and i would rather order new from Skunk2!
But then again yours were new!
And yea i also want to buy a rear camber kit!
Thanks guys!

PRO S sucks. too stiff going to throw on my stockies soon or maybe replace them with BC's (friend has em and they ride a little bit better)

You know Skunk2 sells optional SOFTER spring rates for the coilovers right?

Unless they came out with new springs for 8th Civic coilovers in the pass couple months, they do not offer softer rates. They do have stiffer ones available...

yo_yo_yo

im kind of wanting stiff a stiff ride!
so the stiffer they are the better! i dont want soft ones! thats im looking for some Pro S

I ordered a set of 8kg springs for my front struts from Brian at Skunk2 back in July of this year. Not exactly sure how long they have offered this...but it's been a while. Longer than a couple months. They have from 2kg up to 18kg in 2kg increments (2, 4, 6, 8....etc.).

yo_yo_yo

How are they working for you?

slammed em1

yoo theres a write up on the suspension section saying you dont need a camber kit but a good alignment should do the trick....look into that before u spend your money on it....

i-VTEC_DOHC

how low does the rear go?
anyone have pics of the rear all the way down??

yo_yo_yo

thats what ive been waiting for!
whats a thread without pics lol!
thanks for the advice slammed em1! but i have looked in to it and most people have camber wear even with the best alignment!

Rears also? When I talked to them I asked about the rears and they said no. Fronts I can see them having.

RICO_

When did you talk to them? When I ordered mine I believe he asked me if they were gonna be for the front or rear. That would signify to me that they offer them for both.

I'll have to check into it again to be sure. I left my rears at 10kg to help tune out the understeer.

RICO_

This is the absolute lowest it will go. Period. (Unless you plan on putting a 100lb. subwoofer system in the trunk). And I had to remove one of the locking rings on the rear spring perch to get it this low because the rings are too fat and with the second ring on it will sit even higher. I didn't like it so I took one off to get it this low.

RICO_

If I'm not mistaken I believe the sedans will get a little lower in the rear because they carry more weight in the rear since the car itself is heavier and has +1% more weight distribution to the rear.

It was awhile ago, i'd say about earlier this year. Right now I just want a little softer in the rears for dd.

I'm also all the way down in the rears and still want lower, I might try this. I'm guessing there's no issues in doing this since its already all the way down?
