Default Skunk2's on Tokico's - Good or Bad Combo???

I have some non-adjustable Tokico blues on my 92 VX with Progress springs. I was wanting to change the Progress springs and go with Skunk2's or Ground Controls. The struts are not even a year old and I bought them new. A few people said it would be a bad idea to use coilover sleeves with these struts. Does anyone have this combo - how's the ride, handling, etc???

Im running GC with tokico blues although I bought them as a set. The ride is alittle stiffer than stock and body roll is decreased considerably over stock.

If you getting into autoXing or track racing you may want to go with custom spring rates on your springs. If you go this route I would also suggest some adjustable shocks ie koni yellows, tokico illuminas, kyb agx.

I had that ste up on my EF. Don't lower it more than an inch and a half.

i just got my skunk 2's installed on my ek this weekend on my stock shocks. The ride is really stiff, on the freeway i bouncy around a lot, but it isnt that bad considering that i have Integra spring rates. The handeling has gotten much much better. When shifting hard, the car does not lean back anymore and steering response is great.
