Default Aerospeed vs. Skunk2

Aerospeed vs. Skunk2 which coilover do you think is better and why? Is there really even a difference?

I didnt know Aerospeed made coilovers, i thought they only made springs.

I have skunk2 integra rates and i like them. But thats me, others say my cars to stiff and i say its not stiff enough.

Go with omnis
Better then Aerospeed and about equal or better then skunks and cost less. Might be the same producer that produces skunks springs. http://www.omnipowerusa.com/Pr...r.asp

My freind is getting skunk 2 coilovers so he wants to trade me them for my aerospeed coilovers but I dont know if I should. The only difference I know is that mine are blue and his are red..lol. My other freind is trying to sell me his skunk2 coilovers off his 98 prelude sh, but do they fit a 92 hatch vx? Is it the same or not?

I have skunk2's 8f/10r

skunk2 integra rates are 10/8 and the omni's are 8/6(same as skunk2's "civic rates")

both are pieces of ****...go with Ground Control(Integra rates) for coilovers and if you have the money then get some Koni's to go with it...it will ride like stock. with your decision though, but Skunk2(Junk2) are trash, bouncey as ****... and Aerospeed, speaks for its self...

the reason why is cause the Tokico Blues arent ment to handle that spring rate!! arospeed coilovers really arent going to be any better than most "cheaper" brands. i havent heard a good word about them. i would go with Ground Contol. Omni Power is also a good choice for the money. just make sure you match them up with a good set of shocks..

Ok first off the skunk 2s need 5 way adjustable set on 4 or 5 to match the spring rate so if you use blues {no better than stock} then yea their gonna bounce. Second those skunk 2s in that pic were no installed right or they would have never done that....Best coilovers i have ever had!!

The reason those coils did that was because Skunk2 sends a cap that goes down on the perch which stops that from happening. The installer did it in correctly. Get the facts straight before calling out a product.

I have Skunk2's they are good for sleeve coils, but Im saving up for a full coilover from Omni.
