Default skunk springs on stock shocks.

hows the ride. is it worth it? do you have this set up. im not lookin for anything crazy. if you have other ideas or oppions or diffrent springs that would be better on factory shocks. thanks in advance.

with stock shocks, go with Eibach Pro Kits or TEIN S. Techs

might as well change the shocks out while your at it. stock ones can last years, or weeks. ive seen both happen. cheap and decent upgrade ones are KYB GR2's. usually can get a full set off of ebay for $180 shipped. ive had 2 sets of them and have had no problems with them.

i had Skunk 2's on stock shocks. It was about average for being bouncy. Only thing is, the stock shocks lasted about 6 months. I as well would recoment an Eibach pro kit if you dont want as much bounce in a spring, but i still say you change your struts while your at it the first time around.

Those are just an oem replacement seem like a waste of money IMHO. Do it once and do it right. What I mean is your gonna blow your stock shocks anyway. So why not wait until you get some new shocks.

They actually are made the same as the AGX's, just not adjustable. Either way, i said CHEAP upgrade. If he was going to do it once, and do it right, do full coilovers. I have Tein HA's now, and i wish i had never had anything less.

I drive a 96 EK coupe. Skunk2 springs and stock shocks. Been on them for over a year. Very little bounce. Smooth ride. great drop. two thumbs up.
