Default Skunk 2 Drag Coilover sleeves

What struts r u guys using with them. I found a set with skunk 2 sport struts for $585 shipped and everthing is new. Will the skunk 2 sport shocks work well with the drag coilovers that r 12kg front and 18kg rear. Thanks

i use the drag coilovers with kyb agx in the rear and stockers in the front, most of my 60' are low 1.7's and a few 1.6's. i'm sure any shock will "work." its a good suspension for the $

Can you raise your car with these sleeves or is stock height the most you can raise it? What about the Omni "Slip Over Coilovers"

Thanks.

I run the Sk2 DL's in the rear only in my car with KYB AGX's.... I had a GC setup on there before and it felt like my car wanted to pull a tire when I accelerated because the car squatted so much in the rear, not it does not squat at all. I only got a 1.83 60' on my first attempt but I know I could of got another .10 out of it easily.

My friend was cutting 1.60-1.65 with the SK2 DL's all the way around and AGX's also, so that is why I gave them a try.

Thanks.

not really sure never measured it, its enough to fit 24.5" slicks with 1.5-2" to spare and still a bit more room on the coil.
