What kind of spring rates would those offer?

Not to mention that for the price of skunk2 shocks you could get koni srt's with a lifetime warranty.

the sleeves are 8k and 6k. I forget what the lowering springs are rated, because they are progressive not linear.


Just call them up and ask, They'll tell you. but i want to say something around 400lb fronts and 300lb rears...

Cheaping out on any component is a bad idea, it's especially bad when it comes to tires/suspension on your car.

For mild drops I'd recommend at least KYB AGX or koni SRT. The SRT at least has a lifetime warranty.
Better than stock shocks

I suppose you could say they're better new than 150,000 mile OEM shocks.

They are not a performance shock.
