I'm in the market for some new shocks and had pretty much had my mind set on Tokico hp shocks $230 on CL. i just did some reading and found out about the skunk2 shocks, $290 various websites. I'm planning to run them on some RS*R springs i picked up, (baby blue color if anyone has them)

anyone have experience with the skunk2 shocks or my RS*R springs? any feedback is much appreciated as i plan to purchase this week. thanks!

yep i put them on about 3 weeks ago or so wiht the matching lowering springs it actually rides pretty good they are built for pretty high spring rates so they will hold up a while or should at least.. heres a pic for reference 2.25 drop in front and 2 in the back

thanks for your post, it drops the car a bit low huh? do you have experience with other setups? and how much did you pay for the combo?

I have the skunk2 sport shocks on skunk2 coliovers/sleeves. Ride is pretty harsh in bumpy roads.. but nice on smooth and semi-smooth roadways.. Stiffened the ride up considerably, no more bounce from a dropped car on stock shocks

i payed 335 for everything try ebay they have prices and then its buy it now or best offer and you can get the stuff for cheaper just make sure its authentis stuff i paid 115 for the springs and 220 for the shocks

I have Skunk2 shocks and lowering springs as my setup and they rock. Nice drop and good *** shocks. Not bouncy at all. I got mine pretty cheap also. I got mine at LSD Motorsports. You should give them a call im sure they'll hook you up a good deal. They are local so you can pick it up. Being that your in L.A.

dam, how did you guys get it so cheap, cheapest on ebay is 300 and the lowest i saw on a website was 290

im close to getting tokico blue's for 230.

the hard driver in me says gets koni/gc's, but I will probably get the skunk2 setup as its the most cost-effective

look for either jdminstock or jhp usa on ebay both are pretty similar for prices i think they are both vendors on here but i dont think you would get as good of a deal through ht as you would on ebay

stripes777

its all 300 now, maybe it was 220 when they first introduced them to grab market share, but now everywhere is 300

call up lsd and see if they will give you a better deal than what they show on their website.

EGhatchguy

no it should havebuy it now or best offer they were 250 and i got them for 220 i see they are up now but you can still low ball them a little bit on those like 265 for the shocks maybe just try the best offer option?

thanks for the tip about contacting them, they quoted me me at 255 picked up, but they wont get them for another month i cant wait that long, im going with tokico blue.
