I came across these coilovers for a really good deal...I planned on going with function but picked these up from someone getting out of his car.. All the reviews I read said nothing about drag racing just daily driving and for that people seemed to not like them... So I was wondering has anyone here had any experience with them? Thanks for any replies and if there is a review point me to it !

 

Are you referring to the ProS2 coilovers or the adjustable dampening ProC's?

I'm running ProS2 in my hatchback and they are really nice. Wish I had the ProC though because the threaded shock bodies are a little longer and can get the rear at a nice height without having the front lower.

But! I do enjoy the way I have my ProS2s setup and saw better 60' vs my stock struts and adjustable sleeves (but thats obvious lol)

*edit. I also have NOT corner balanced my car ever but it goes straight

 

these are the ones I've got

 

Those are the exact ones I have. Factory spring rates aren't bad either. If you need different springs they sell em on the skunk2 website. Or measure lengths and order some from summit (probably cheaper)

 

Thanks for the reply if anything they are better then what I had and I could always sell them down the road .. Thanks again

 

i was interested in the skunk or the strange drag suspension.

i like everything about the strange except yhou can adj height and preload sepereatly.

 

I put them on last night and just took it down the street... wasnt that bad as far as bouncing like a lot of the reviews , i will definitely update this post when I take it to the track and give my thoughts

 

I like mine... I have mine setup more stiff for track use. Tends to be a lil rough on streets of phoenix every once in awhile.

 

those are Skunk2 Pro S Version 2. I have the version 1's which do not have the bottom sleeve(im guessing perch) adjustment. I bought mine used and they still had the S2 springs that came with them(8k front 6k rear). I put them on my ek hatch with a pretty much completely rebuilt front and rear suspenion(bushings, ball joints, tie rods, bearings, traction bar,control arms, etc.). Immediately fell in love with these, car rode extremely smooth, nice and firm, no bounce. My car has a b20vtec in it, on motor i was able to cut 1.7 60ft's guaranteed with a best pass of 12.53@106mph. Put the Skunk2 drag springs on the struts(10k front 18k rear) and absolutely no give, the tires is what gives, but still a really smooth but now stiff ride, no bounce. on a 125shot out the hole still cutting 1.7 60ft's(the clutch is slipping and need more seat time on the nitrous) running 11.70@114mph(letting off in top of 4th due to ignition break up, highest mph was 116).

 

Nice good to hear !!! what size slick where you running when you cut the 1.7??

 

on motor 22x8x13 m/t
on nitrous 24.5x9x13 m/t
both using a b16 tranny with type r lsd. im going twin disk and in the process of fixing some issues. hopefully with the twin disk and issues fixed, more seat time i should hopefully se some 1.6's on the nitrous.

 

little off topic but I am running a b16 tranny as well did you have to shift to 5th on the 22's???

 

no. i rev my stock b20vtec to 8400. I shift at 7800-8000

 

I haven't had any problems with my setup either. 96 spec ITR with lsd. (Same gears as b16) 4.4 FD all the same. Not shifting out of 4th at all. On a 23" m&h. Thinking about getting a shorter final drive for this year and then stick with the 23s.

 

At what kind of mph tho.

 

Not sure what your asking

 

If you did not have to shift in to 5 what was the mph on the pass. Mph makes a big deal about that. Mph = hp
More HP will put it out of 4 gear.

 

12.53@106mph, it made 200whp on the dyno.
