Skunk2 pro series dont have a shock body adjustment soooo unless you intend on riding at stock height the springs will not be preloaded.

Anyway, cut the bumpstops in half. You're welcome in advance.

thats really weird... i had pro-s' on my crx and i was tucking 15's and i still had an inch to go.

it says they're adjustable up to 4" which will put a civic in the grass

which pro series do you have there is 2 kinds and i think the pro c you can adujust the body and lower the car without hurting ride quality do you have a collar at the bottom of the threads where it meets the body of the coil? cause i have these in my ek and its tucking tire now and have prolly 15 threads left
