Yeah because one set broke that means everyone else will break right? No one knows anything other than they broke, it may have been a manufacturing defect, it may have been installed wrong. Ive had my skunks for 3 years and im not about to take it off because some jackass broke one spring.

yeah just because one broke doesn't mean anything,i know shitloads of people running their coilovers and they work just fine.....probably just an air bubble inside the coil or something

just because some people have problems doesnt mean everyone will, plus he was asking about the springs not the coil overs

no, they have regular lowering springs for sale.

why not just buy from H&R or Eibach. actual SPRING manufacturers.

Has anyone else noticed that just about every Junk2 product has failed for someone on this board?

How many Junk2 products have been "revised" because the initial release was flawed? They couldn't even get their shift ***** right the first time! (People were complaining that the Skunk2 logo was wearing off).

When you go cheap you get what you pay for.

thanks for all the replys..ive decided not to go with skunk2 because a few bb6 owners that have installed, told me that the oil pan clearance is a problem. so i have decided to go with a spring for right now untill i can afford a full adjustable coilover package. i was told that the tein s tech would be the best spring to add to my stock shocks. So im gonna buy a set of thouse and pimp them untill i have the money to upgrade. thanks alot for everyones time and replys (even the one that tryed to flame me)
