hi everyone , i am looking to buy the skunk2 adjustable coilovers and shocks , but the spring rates for the coilovers are 8k in the front and 6k in the back.

my question is .... Is this too stiff for a daily driven 92 civic si (hatchy)

thanks

 

that's what my omni's are and even the girlfriend doesn't mind..

 

anyone else ??? need to know ASAP

 

well if it's any concelation (sp), i believe that 6/8K setups are commonly referred to as "street" setups as opposed to "track"

every street setup i've ever heard of has been 6/8.. every track or drag use setup has been either 8/10 or even 10/12..

i don't know of anything softer than 6/8 either..

 

its really up to u. everybody has der own diffention of wats stiff to dem. am running dat same set up its doesnt bother me. my girl now hates it she says it hurst her *** but my ex didnt mind it

 

my wife doesnt mind my 12k/10k's

 

^thanks guys for the responses , The thing is that i have found a good deal for skuk2 coilovers and shocks ...i can get them for 495 shipped.

if i were to go with something else it would be like 600 + shipping , and im on a budget here.

i really have no idea what to expect . and i just hope that ill be fine with 8k/6k .

 

I have heard lots of bad stuff about the skunk2's.

 

a little elaboration never hurt anyone..

 

i drove my buddies eg with the 6/8 setup. Felt loose to me in corners and all his suspension components are tight... car felt like it wanted to sway when i threw it in a corner. As far as daily driving it rides smooth.

I kinda like the stiffer setups but thats just my opinon

 

I have heard that the seals in the shocks are junk and blow out.

i'm using omni's full coilover setup because of the same reason..
