Any one use those spring on OEM shock ??

how is the ride with them.. ? too much stiff ?? smooth ? handling ?? these spring are on SIR shock

 

I know you said oem shocks but i have skunk2 coilovers with kyb agx shocks and it's incredibly stiff. It's actually a huge sacrifice to go low, my car looks good but it feels like my car is rattling apart. I can't wait to go back to springs

 

im riding skunk2 with tokico blue shocks which i heard is pretty much like stock shocks. compared to stock the ride will not be smooth you feel every crack and bump on the road. i had this set up for more then two yrs but im trying to get some teins super street when i get the money. i did notice rattling in my car after this setup also.

Severely underdamped. "Smooth" and "handling" won't be a consideration.

If you put Skunk2 coilovers on stock shocks, then I'm not going to allow you to post in my forum ever again.

 

well what is the recommended shock for this setup anyways? my brother has a set on his new car with stock shocks, the retard we bought it off of was riding it on the bumpstops on stock shocks, so we need to buy some before my brother compresses his spine on the road, i was looking at tokico blues but i was wondering if they would be too soft?

God no.

Illuminas are the only shocks you should use with Skunk2 coilovers.

Or you could try the Skunk2 Sport shocks, but I can't say I know anything about those.

 

Tokico blues and Skunk2 coilovers. lol

That was the set-up that came with my hatch when I bought it.

Worst ride EVAR!!!! The shocks ended up spewing oil all over the place after a few months.

 

haha, thanks for the advice. although i might be switching my GC shelf rates onto his stuff so his ride is a little nicer

Bay Area roads

god, my integra came with this setup and let me tell you, words cant even express how fu**ing bouncy this thing is. It's terrible, you WILL feel every little bump on the road, even the slightest bumps I have to slow down for and since I live in the city that means impatient drivers blasting their horns at you . I too feel like my car is falling apart, my friends sometimes don't even wanna ride in my car cause its too stiff. I live in San Francisco, and it's known for earthquakes our roads are all fu*ked up cause of it and I feel every little bump in my car. I need to get rid of these skunks ASAP but Ima broke high school student .

Off Topic: how much would it be to replace my whole suspension setup? Seriously after about a hour drive my butt and lower spine hurts like hell, and since I occasainally drive my mom to work I don't think its too healthy for either one of us. Someone tell me PLEASE or at least give me a estimate
GC+Koni Yellows+labor=???
or Eibach Sportlines+Koni Yellows+labor=???
