Are you talking about their adjustable sleeved coils? If so, they ride pretty harsh and really don't perform well on stock shocks.

Everyone thats owned the skunk2 coilover sleeves has been VERY dissapointed. I would NOT buy these ever, go for ground control sleeves if u must get sleeves.

Since you are keeping them with OEM struts, i would just get a mild drop spring, like H&R or Eibach sportlines.

Yeah, the drop looks nice, but the ride sucks. Wasted my time and money.

Gonna save for coilovers now.
