That is real help lol skunk is an ok brand(despite what some say) for bolt on components/VT upgrades but anything else is crap.

Seriously koni,FF,tokico,KYB,eibach all great bands. with springs it's not AS big a deal but i've never heard one good thing about jkunk2 suspenion/coilovers

That is actual help, OP. You bought **** suspension from a **** company. Leads to reason that they would ride like (you guessed it) ****.

Figured it out. Spring rate is to high on springs that came with them.changed them out for lower rate eibach coils and it rides fine!!

so the springs skunk2 includes in their coilovers is too high for their own shocks? how did you come to this conclusion?

its not that they put springs with high rates, its that the pro-c are supposed to be for "race".. which means on a smooth track... on a track they probably work well... these are not for street/daily driving... I still don't understand why people buy certain suspension because of the brand they are... you should only buy suspension that has the spring rates that will match the type of driving and road conditions you will be driving on
