Haha sorry i had too, first thing that popped in my head. But anyways idk about the skunk2 full coilovers, but I have the sleeves with kyb agx shocks at home waiting to go on, and I wanna know about that setup as well since all I can do it sit and class and wonder how its gonna ride when I go home thanksgiving and put it on

 

the C's are a good coilover and the only skunk suspension i would actually buy. if you need stiff rates cheap they are a good way to go. the shocks have a lot of control and the ability to get a car very low and still actually function.

what's your goal with the car? typically koni/gc is your best street/track bet but the C's do have a couple advantages that would benefit someone who wants to ride low or run R comp tires. koni sports as they come get twitchy above 500lb or so out back and somewhere around 650lb up front. the pro c can go above this without that problem. it's also, like i said, a better platform for going really low.

 

Please elaborate on this.

 

He did elaborate on that. The Pro C's can run stiffer spring rates than out of the box konis. i.e. good for running r compound tires.

 

^ that's it in a nutshell. the ability to control higher rates is a benefit on slicks or R comps. rates that feel stiff on a street tire and used on the street can feel boaty on a fully slick on a smooth track. reason why? G's . tires capable of pulling high G loads put that load right into the suspension.

 

Not many people get the skunk2 coilovers mostly in part of a short-lived reputation and that you can typically get more for your money with other products.

 

skunk2 anything is too stiff for daily driving! im about to get rid of mine and go to GC.

 

make sure you know the rates you want when you order.

 

thanks for the info

 

i daily drive the pro c on my integra ... now i personaly luv the feeling of the pro c's and recomend them .. as for the ride on them , stiff but not to bad , all depends on who you are... you will feel every bump in the road with them my car sits perfect on them it took a bit of playing around with to get em where i wanted em but now its perfect (to me)

the suspension them selves have alot of adjusablity on them , you can spend a week dialing them in if you wanted to when i adjust the noob to soft or firm i somtimes cant tell if it even made a diff. but that could be because how i have the preload set on the springs

an idea of how they handle is around my area i have a downward hill to s-turn , mid s-turn starts going up a hump blasting threw the turns feel very responsive and in complete control there is body roll but im also on stock sway bars

just keep in mind that your suspension has to work together as a team slappin these guys on a rippin on your car will show you the weak link in your setup real fast

 

huh? 2 of my freinds, including me daily drive on skunk2's.

One, is on pro'c's. he loves them, says they ride a bit stiff for a dd, but they are great, if he turns them down a bit, they are assume.

Another on pro s's. He says they are stiff, however are great compared to what he has had in the past. And doesnt regret buying them and or dd'ing them.

And i, dd skunk2 slip ons. Yes, they are stiff, 10k,6k. ohter then that, they are great. love how stiff they are when i feel like messing around in some twistes.

With that said, it depends so much more on the spring rates you have, then the maker of the part. It is true, skunk2 will ride stiffer then others, due to they are linear, rather then progressive springs.

All in all, there is nothing wrong with dding a car with skunk2 suspension
