Default Any opinons on skunk2 pro-c's? One of my options

I know these coilovers are fairly new, but I'm wondering if anyone has some useful info on them.

My 2 choices for coilovers are the skunk2's or PIC Selects with 12kF/14kR.

I'm not even sure how these 2 compare with one another because of the lack of product review for the S2's on a DC2 chassis.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

I say gp with PIC, go with a brand that has some good reviews on them and people that back them up.

PIC for sure. They designed them specifically for each application, and tell you to track them!
Comparing them in person to a bunch of others...they are superior.

not really looking for comfort lol

i daily drive, but i track at least twice a month. my current setup is H&R race springs on koni yellows, with an eibach front sway bar. the shocks are fine, but springs are terrible when running on r compound tires.

i thought about the 14k in the rear to help balance my understeer which i believe is because of my front sway bar. if it doesnt solve it i can always go with a different rear sway bar.

how do you guys feel about daily driving a PIC 12/14 setup?

im running the 12/14 setup on my type R right now and its not too bad. also, the roads where i live are terrible...massive potholes and frost heaves and the like. the ride is a little harsh but if you aren't too concerned about comfort then i think you should be alright

Having been sponsered by PIC running them on my track car, and running another set of 12/14's on the street I can say they are capable. I personally didn't mind running them on the street at all, and perform well under track conditions.

I also happen to be an Authorized Distributor for them, so if you need a set, just LMK.

have the pro c's in my eg track car, and also in my dc2 ITR.

DD the itr with no problems, turn them to hard and it is a pretty firm ride, i think it would handle awesome on the track.

Track the eg with 10kg all round and they feel awesome too.
I posted a review on here (check my posts) and have a look at them, i would definately buy another set if i was after coilovers for my next honda you would never go back to d2s or the cheaper stuff after using these.

awesome, thanks for your input everyone. i should be ready to order my coils in a couple of weeks...i think ill go with PIC's just because of the custom spring rates, id like to be stiffer in the rear.
