I'm soon going to be ordering some GC's for my STD hatch (being that I couldn't stand my D2's coilovers-I hated the ride) and don't know what strut I should run.

I was thinking about running a Skunk2 strut but don't know the capabilities of them when I am slammed. I will be slamming my car NOT all the way down but down there lol.

What struts should I run? I know that if I run koni's I have to pay an extra 40dollars for the other pirch, now is that 40dollars extra on each sleeve or for all four of them?

Any insight would be great. Thanks again guys.

 

my brother just put the skunk 2 sport struts with skunk 2 sleeves on his std hatch and it rides great. The skunk2 struts have a short body which is better for the sleeves and keeps them from rattling around. It rides hard and doesnt bottom out easily.

 

the 40 dollars for the purch include all four be sure to buy the gc sleeves built for the konis

 

If I end up running the Skunk2 struts from them having a shorter casing I can go pretty low correct? Will I retain the stock pirch on the GC's?

 

Ive personally never had a problem with tokico blues and have dumped my car on them and they never blew out...im still running them today with sprint lowering springs and their still holding up fine...!!!

 

function and form type 1's are pretty good i reccomend those.. or u can always do koni/gc's <3

 

How "dumped" are you? Because I'm gonna put them almost all the way leaving about a .5in of the sleeve left. So about a 3in drop from stock.

 

I had Ground Controls/Tokico Illuminas on my EF, loved that setup. I hauled *** all over SF (which is very hilly and rough) and never bottomed out. I'm really missing it now, I have some flabby old Koni Yellows on my DC2

 

Ya I just called the shop that I'm buying my GC's from and asked how much Tokico Illumina's were and he said for the regular base ones were 79 per strut and 129 for the blue(damper edition)

He said that if I want my car anywhere from 2.5-3.5in drop I should run the skunk2 struts. You guys agree or disagree?

 

here's a pick of my old ef2 dumped on egay coilovers and tokico blues...!!!

 

Thats about how low I wanna be, IF NOT a littllleee bit lower.

 

the front is riding on 175/75/13 and the rear is 195/50/15...!!!

 

I have the Integra SE wheels on 195/50/15
