Default Lowering Your Car

Hey guys i got crappy tokico gas shocks on my teg with stock springs. It needs to be lowered and i was wondering if i should get like skunk2 adjustables? Or just straight up srpings. Plus, what is the difference between the 2? They cost pretty much the same.

I run a tokico illumina/ ground control setup, I like it alot and if you want even more adjustability then go koni yellow/ ground control. both are great

i agree with the TOO MUCH TORQUE , i love the koni/gc set up.

save up and get something that will last and that is worth your money.

you've pretty much answered your own question...coilovers = adjustable/springs = non-adjustable

lol, pretty much..... the skunk2 are a poor man's coilovers. But what do you really need? are you going to constantly adjust your springs/shocks? For most people, coilovers are not really needed, they just buy them because they "know" they are the best. A simple shock/spring combo will do you fine.

FYI, Skunk 2 Pro-S are uncomfortable as hell. Read up about suspension in the suspension forums to get a better idea before you drop $500 plus on something you'll grow tired of
