Default Going from neuspeed race to skunk2 coilovers?!?

What up,


I currently have neuspeed race springs on my car, with OEM struts. Honestly the ride is a little bouncy but it's not that bad at all! I found a really good deal on some skunk2 coilovers so i picked them up! I was wondering if i replaced the race springs with the skunk2 coilovers would the ride be alot worse? or about the same? The reason i wanna put the skunks on, is because i want to go about a 1/2" lower..

lemme know

BTW: is anyone ridin on skunk2's with oem struts?

its hard to say if the ride is gonna be any worse or better without seeing how it is now. i would think it might be worse with the coilovers because it sounds like your shocks might be blown but like you said you wanna go 1/2" lower. i would of bought some koni yellows because you can adjust the ride height by dropping the bottom spring perch.

From my experience Skunk 2 coilovers will be fairly bouncy. It can be a tad better if you get some good shocks to throw with them though, Koni Yellows or something adjustable.

dont buy those coil overs if i were u , and i would save the money and buy some kyb agx shocks, i have the same setup race springs with kyb agx, ride awesome! make sure u cut your bump stops also!

if u want to go LOWER than u allready are with the Race springs on stock shocks, your ride is going to be worse, most deff, and your shocks will blow sooner, if they havent allready.
