are u guys referring to the skunk2 proseries coilover kit? if so i had it on my daily driven CRX and it was a bit too stiff for me....i drove it everyday and everytime i go over a bump i felt like my wheel was going to get bent or something....just too harsh IMO esp in San Francisco with all the potholes and ****...i swapped it out and sold it to someone after having it for a week and put some shocks/springs on.

as for handling..it handled very good.....gave the front a real good drop and the rears didn't drop as low but still looked good. handing was really good.

Hmm, that sucks. I dont mind the stiff part, b/c i think my coilovers now are too soft... but i DONT like the part about not being able to lower the back real far. I'm looking to tuck the tires on my 95 teg...anyone with this kit on that car?

apparently there was recently a bad batch that came out, and people were having a ton of problems with them. most of the h-t sponsors were recommending to get other suspension systems although many are now advertising that those problems have been fixed. contact some h-t sponsors in the wheel, tire, and suspension marketplace for more info on potential issues.

hopefully i didn't get this bad batch... but i've had mines on my car since early december and haven't had problems yet...

as for ride hieght adj. i'm able to tuck the tires in the rear, but i don't have it set that way... my rear is set a little higher than the front... and i used the softer rates on the front and stiffer on the rear... as far as drivability.. a bit stiff like supracrx said, but i've gotten used to them and it doesn't bother me anymore ,

and as far as handling goes.. it handles really nicely, i've also got an asr brace and itr bar coming in, i wonder how it'll handle afterwards...
