I personally have a set of skunk 2 springs awaiting install, anyone got a good reply for OP? opinions? whats the best shock for Skunk2 springs?

 

i have them and i got the fully adjustable they worked out great i didnt need other parts from my stock stuff only the front forks and just had an all around easy time with it... took me 2 hours only b/c i had to keep jacking it up b/c of being too low... what i did was measure from the bottom thread 2 inches to the bottom plate and adjust from there dont go to low b/c it will pinch a hole in the boot for your axles... about 2 weeks after that i did my friends just the springs and shocks that lowered like 2 inches... such a pain in the ***... had to take the old shock apart, so that required a spring compressor, all for the dust covers, and some of the washers and just was a very long pain taking time like 5 hours.. and was just killer i will get my friend to put some input on this too just to see how he liked the experience

 

I have had a few customers use them and they love em. Suspension is a tricky thing. A lot of ppl have differant ideas on how their car should ride. Some like soft setups and some cant stand them....so to ask if they are any good isnt a good question. They do what they do. They are a stiffer than stock...if your comparing them to a full coilover setup then they probly wont be as good but the pricing differance would be extremely differant as well.

 

I have the skunk2 lowering springs on the skunk2 sport shocks, i'm not any race car driver or anything, but for some spirited driving, it is a pretty nice setup. I don't mind it at all, a little rougher thank stock (naturally) but not overly so

 

I was curious about the struts as well. Mostly cuz im a cheap *** and cant afford that baller stuff. Anybody got em?

 

those are some of the answers I was looking for. . little stiffer than stock, good for spirited driving. thanks guys gonna pair the 2"" Skunk2 lowering springs with the skunk2 sport shock set!

 

It was kind of a pain in the *** to install, but that's going to be any lowering spring. If you have the money, coilovers would be nice, but I wasn't spending that kind of money.

Yea, I don't think it's crazy bad. I'm happy with my 360 dollar setup haha

Forcemotorsports has some good prices

 

i'd check ebay... i got mine from ebay... i think i paid 530 for my setup...
