I finished installing my new shocks from skunk 2 and they are wonderful. They i have got a better grip on my car. Here are some pics of the coil overs and camber kit. I can turn alot better and handle the car alot better at high speeds.
Heres my camber kit and shocks they also adjust for ride hight

heres a pic of my old shock that came with the car when i bought it


there shocks are so much better then my old ones they had eibach spring any one with questions on how to install just ask and ill help

 

Hey, nice suspension set-up. I was planning on going with this route.

What's the springrate and how's the ride quality for DD?

 

Im not quite sure on the spring rate off the top of my head but for dd its really good. there is a 12-way Adjustable Precision Valving. you can adjust for Circuit or for the street. Ive had them for 3 weeks now and i feel its a different car.

 

You switched out tokico illuminas with ground control coilovers for Skunk2 coilovers?

 

Yeah I saw that too. How did you see those were ground controls from the pic though? Crazy. And those illuminas I have been told are real good, and if those are indeed ground controls then what was wrong with them? Thats the combo everyone is telling me to go with.

 

It just looks to be ground control because why else would you spend a good chunk of cash on good shocks but shitty coilovers, ya know? Plus, ground control is the only coilover company i know that uses the maroon color springs with gold perches.

 

the problem with them is that my car would lean way to much when i would turn even after swaping out spings two with skunk2 Proseries c i can adjust ride hight and i have a better grip on turn. Another thing is that i would bottom put the shock when i would go over a bump really slow and even at an angle. My old shocks dont even let me adjust my ride hight and adjust for the track or street

 

Very nice setup man, im going pretty much the same route,except im hoing with just the s2 adjustable coilovers on oem struts w/ the s2 camber kit,did you install the camber kit too? You got any pics of the new stance?

 

But the illuminas are adjustable arent they? Im not argueing with you, just trying to figure things out before I buy a set up.

You do know that your Illuminas are 5 way adjustable right? It seems to me you didn't know because you probably never inquired or searched for help. It's easy to assume these shocks (Illuminas) are not adjustable if they lose their little red guide at the top of the shocks: see pix


You wanna sell me your old setup?

 

The ground control coilovers would've been able to lower and raise your car up by turning the perch. It sounds like the original owner didn't give you the perch wrenches.

 

I already sold my old setup and yes i know it has a 5 way adjust. The skunk2 has a 12 way and the last day i had my tokico shocks the gas expelled from the shock there was no more pressure in the shocks. Plus skunk2 had more affordable shocks and have helped me alot with my set up and with the price.

 

Awsome. Mind sharing how much you spent and where.

 

you can go to jhpusa.com for them at 899.99 or skunk2.com for i believe 1412.99

 

Or our sponsor for $643.72... OWNED! haha sorry

 

sounds like they are a good setup. any pictures of them installed on the car?

i was thinking of going with pro s when it gets off back order, i'm on the waiting list

 

Sounds good, i think i'll look into Skunk2 Pro C coilovers also

 

Nice....
