Default Skunk2 springs...how much of a drop did you get?

I'm about to order my Skunk2 springs and shocks for my '94 hatch and I'm just wondering what kind of a drop YOU got on your car.

I've read everything from 1.8-2.0 to 2.25-2.50.....what'd you get?

I found a website that sold them and they claimed it was a 2.5" drop in the front and 2.25" in the rear.....too low for me...


Eibach Sportline and Eibach shocks are what I'm looking at now

I'm trying to stick with the same brand for the springs and shocks.....for some reason mixing and matching rubs me wrong the way

If having shitty springs to match your shitty shocks floats your boat then go for it

I've never ben ecstatic about skunk2 shocks/springs/coilovers.

They make decent lcas and camber kits though

sometimes mix and matching gives the best of both worlds.

sorry, i don't want to rub you at all, but neuspeed and koni have years of proven race products. when doing your suspension, it can make or break how your car handles and how much you will want to drive it.

skunk2 makes some pretty good valvetrain parts, and camber correction kits, but when it comes to suspension, it should be left to the pros.

And I'm going to stick with Skunk2 when I order the camber kits either tonight or tomorrow...I haven't heard anything bad about the camber kits, unless somebody has a better recommendation in the same price range?
