Default Skunk2 Pro C's are in suspension almost complete fr the Spring !

Well its been a while since i posted here guys i live on 8thgen lol anyway i recently became a part of the skunk2 street team so i took advantage of it and picked up some competition level coil overs. I also purchased the Skunk2 rear lower tie bar and the Megan Racing H Brace which will be here next week. I already have the progress rear sway and Eibach sportlines but the springs will be coming off shortly obliviously. I still need skunk2 rear camber arms and i plan on running RFP1's in 18x8 with Falken Azenis RT-615 so i should be ready for any corner come spring thanks for looking guys.

I will have a full review of the coils and braces after i install them so look out for that Happy Modding !!!!

I look forward to seeing some of you when the spring meet season starts.

The Pro-Cs are definitely one of the best investments I've ever made on a performance mod. You'll love them.....as long as you don't mind a stiff ride even on the softest dampening setting.

The super-increased handling and responsiveness will more than make up for that though.

Also allversionperformance.com is giving away magnetic drain plug set with the purchase of Pro Series Coilovers and rear camber kit on top of the $25% off too.

And those who do need to go buy a mid 80's Cadillac. You hear it in that "5 year old" whiny voice "the ride is too stiff."

lol. I actually put the stock suspension back on at one point and it felt like riding in a Buick compared to the Skunk2 Pro-Cs. Literally....that's how big the difference is.

It's great.

You will definitely get 2" from the front. The rear however has some sort of structural limitation that prevents it from slamming as low as the front can. I don't know if this is a result of the coilovers (which ARE installed correctly) or the car itself.

Here's a few semi-old pics. In these the rear is as low as it can possibly go and the front is only a little more than half-way lowered.







At first I was a little disappointed that the rear would not go lower. But then it settled and I was satisfied with it. I thought about going for that "slammed" look front and back but realized that anything lower than what I have pictured above and you will very easily start bottoming out on your front tow hooks and rubber trimming underneath the front bumper.

Plus don't forget....anything TOO low and you're basically throwing your handling out the window. Lower isn't always better.

thats weird they should go lower then that in the back i already have no splash guards in the fender area's or under the car anyway lol.

I will be on 18'' rfp1's so i just want a tucked look so i was guessing 2'' would get me there but i wont dump it no i just want it even front and back.

They won't. Trust me. They may go a tad lower because the last two pics are fresh after install....but not much. Unless somebody here knows something I don't about this setup. Stock conical bushings have been removed and replaced with the ones skunk2 provide in the setup. The springs are seated correctly in the spring perch. Other than that I can't think of anything else that I could be missing.
