I just got my Pro-S from Skunk2 installed here are some quick pics









Ride is a little firm, but comfortable considering the ride height I'm sitting.

Hope ya'll enjoy!!!!

Thanks. I prefer the Skunk2 due to their R&D. They put in a lot of time fine tuning their products. To me, Tein's are overpriced for what they are, but that's due to their name.

Your application might be different than mine so you might be happy with the Tein's and not the S2 or vice versa.

 

Looks great. I believe a company called sctuned made a thread a while back saying they would post up pics of their setup....but they never did.

Good to know we now have someone that was able to show us this setup.

In all honesty though....the front looks really low. Might wanna raise it up just a tad so you don't start tearing into your tires from bottoming out on turns.

Just an opinion though.....if you prefer it like that it's cool. Still looks good!

Yeah, the front does rub when turning on uneven pavement, however no rubbing going straight with or without bumps. I want the rear lower, but I'm going to wait til it settles more.

 

If you haven't done so already....don't forget to purchase front and rear camber kit setups. Lowering a car like that can do all kinds of funky things to your suspension geometry.

 

Done, I got the Skunk2 gunmetal rear camber kit and it's installed. Thanks for the heads up though. Front camber is 100% still in spec and no camber kit.

 

 

would you guys prefer skunk2 or eibach?

 

looking good ont he drop

I'd go Skunk2. I've had Eibach paired with Tokico blues and the ride on the S2 are smoother. Just my .02

Thanks, I just wanted people here to see how the Pro-S coilovers looked installed.

 

i like how low the front are, i would lower the *** end close to the front is though.

 

Hey man, your car looks great How much lower can they go (is the bottom at the max) How much were they and where did you buy them from?

I am planning on lowing the rear more, but waiting til it settles and go from there.

I believe I can go as low as the front, but I haven't had time to check it out yet. Also, see my sig, that's where I purchased them.

I'm reading that your setup is NOT adjustable. Is this true?? If so what's the official drop claimed by the company??

according to the site, it claims to be adjustable

http://www.zhmotorsports.com/c...d=178

and skunk 2 claims it also

http://www.skunk2.com/suspension-2.php?code=COVS

so im guessing wherever u read that is not accurate :+)

Guys/Gals, the set up that I have is the Pro-S Coilover Set up, yes it is adjustable. I have the fronts as low as I want it, it can go lower about half an inch, the rear can be adjusted and has room to go about another 1.5" lower. The coilover set up is adjustable from 1"-3". The only thing that is not adjustable is the dampening or valving. If you want fully adjustable coilover set up then you will need the Pro-C setup. Those coilovers are adjustable both up/down as well as dampening and valving. On both set ups, you can change your spring rates from softer to stiffer depending on your application by purchasing the springs separately.

 

I got it from corsportusa's website when I looked at the Pro-C coilover setup. I'm guessing they ment the dampening level was not adjustable and the ride height still is.

My mistake....just makin sure cause the Pro-S is probably the setup I would want to go with.

With Skunk2 coilovers, enthusiasts can quickly and precisely set ride heights and corner weights to improve the vehicle’s handling response, cornering ability, stability, and balance. Our full coilover suspension is offered in our nonadjustable dual-tube PRO-S design, or our PRO-C adjustable mono-tube design. </TD></TR></TABLE>

That's what threw me off. But since the ride height is adjustable it's all good.
