Default **Review: Skunk2 Coilovers on 92-95 Civic EG/EH**

Hello everybody, I was just curious as to what the word is on the street about Skunk2 adjustable coilovers SPECIFICALLY on a EG/EH chassis.. please note:

>your set up
>your experiences with these coils
>the ride comfort
>how happy you are with them
>and how well they compare to others


I might pick these up so i'm hoping to have a professional review thread here, so any words of knowledge on these coilovers from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

and any pictures of your set up or outside appearance of your set up would also be greatly appreciated.



and also to note, i am pretty sure that somebody covered this topic somewhere, but i searched and didn't find much so here it is (again..)

I just picked some up, fresh new set.. i got them a couple of weeks ago so i think they still need to settle, all i have are the skunk2 coils on and with stock shocks, but so far its okay, friend told me that the skunks actually wear out quickly and the ride gets too bumpy.. but as long as it looks good right? haha. plus i only paid 3 bills for them.

They are the same thing as the skunk 2's I have them on my car and I like them a lot. I got them during a special they had but they are stil a lot less than the skunk2's or omnis

Search in the archives for topics created by BauleyCivic, he had an interesting little review on them. I'd say as long as you're not looking for way improved performance, they'd be sort of fine.

LOL....

The English translation reads something like, "...to condemn with faint praise."

If you searched like I suggested instead of waiting to be spoon-fed you would've found one already.
