Default skunk 2

ok well im thinking about getting the skunk 2 coilover and i was wondering if anyone else has tem and if so should i get them?are they any good? and they say you can get up to a 3 inch. drop with the skunk 2's so i was also wondering if someone could post maybe a picture of a 4th gen. dropped 3 inches, from stock height, i was to be able to tuck 15's a little bit.

Skunk2 makes good quality products.

Check our pic thread for pictures. PM the users to ask them what suspension setup they have.

the skunk2's are ok but they can be a little bouncy. for a little more you could get some ground controls which are, in my experience, better.

Assuming those are LINEAR rates and you street drive.......No good IMO. I am a very race minded person though. 448f/224r tells me its going to be a bit rough and NOT pay you back for the roughness when racing due to the front biased rate. The BIG CO's do this so people don't kill themselves oversteering like crazy on the street.
