Re: used skunk2 coilovers... (jinusang)
thats a steal if you ask me...go for it but make sure you have Konis or AGX's or Illuminas to support the springrates on the skunk2s or else you will be bouncing all over the ****** place

actully springs doesnt matter how many miles or months they've been used. springs never wear out.
100 bucks is a good damn deal, take it.

really? can anyone else back that up cause thats good to know. I always thought after time springs begin to loose there stiffness and sag and not be stiff anymore. Or was i mistaking them for shocks all along?

dont put out false info man, SPRINGS do wear out, ask some people that have taken the ebay coilovers off there car cuz one side is higher than the other, the crappier springs such as OBX , DropZone, R1 racing sports and the other such use a extemely low quaility metal which eventually fails after 50,000 times as in completely broke on the spring tester machine (forgot the name of it but it compresses the coil to coilbind and to freeload pretty fast ) after about 10,000 times some of these crappy springs have sagged up to 2 and a half INCHES... which throws the spring rates way off. Where as the skunk2 springs and EIBACH springs have lasted over a MILLION times on testing something that a street car will almost never see. Even after that the most a skunk2 spring sagged was less than a HALF inch. So, no not all springs are created equal just a little info for you guys. They do wear out, but its the process and metal used that determines how long it'll last, skunk2 springs will out last your car. While after about a year or 2 your dropzones will sag to ****

Beat me to it. lol.
Although my buddy has a set of Matrix coilovers on his Civic (Three year old springs) and we compared them to my new g/c coilovers and no difference.
BTW Im assuming that Mr. Choi was not considering the crappy springs.
