Default Opinions on Skunk 2 pro Series...

I'm looking at these. Decent price, but how is the ride quality, and any known issues with them? Leaks, break, etc?
Did they have different versions or gens of these?

EDIT: Not sure if it matters, but they are for an EK.

No first hand experience, but I know someone on another forum (can't remember his name on here) who was running them slammed and absolutely hated them. Everyone who ever rode in his car will vouch that too.

I just got mines installed last week and I love them. Not bouncy at all. All four my wheels are tuck under my fenders. Pretty low. (2000 DB7 Acura Integra LS 4DR)

I hated my old set, it was the Eibach Sportlines Springs with OEM shocks and the Rear sits wayyyyy lower than the Front what leaves 2 finger gap on the Front. Now with the Skunk2 Pro S coilover my ride is at even heights all around. love it!

i like mine, but its bouncy on the streets because i'm pretty slammed, tucking half an inch of tire in the front with room to lower more and little tucking of tire in the back on my civic sedan. i like the ride of it

I have the Pro Cs om my 93EG, the reason why I chose the Pro C because with the pro cs you can adjust height with out sacrificing suspension travel.

I had them before my current set up...Koni/GC, 430f 375r.

No way in hell I would go back, I had some meaty tires, and quite a few different ride heights, and it didn't affect the ride quality. The spring rates make for a very jittery ride...not bouncy, but harsh. Skip these and go for something else if you're gonna daily them. I prefer a tight/stiff ride, but these were too much. I'm glad I moved on.

Edit: Here's an in-car vid before while I had my Pro-S coils...bumpy stuff.
