Skunk2 Shocks, anyone have EXPERIANCE with them?
Well my stechs it apears have blown my stock shocks. When I stop abruptly the front passenger side dips and rebounds a lot more then the drivers. I jacked up the back to check the suspension bolts (been making noise on both sides.. cant figure why) and noticed the rear drivers shock has a lot of fluid around it, and I can pull up on the wheel (while jacked) far far easier then the passener side.
I know the skunk shocks are overall shorter, so installing them would be a pita compared to the stock units, but do they affect ride hight?
Are they quality units?
Like I said I have stechs so the drop isnt substantial, I was considering going GR-2 but I don't know if they would hold up and better then the stock ones, as they are only stock replacements.
Any other cost effective alternatives?

The skunk2 shocks are shorter and with that said they are stiffer to allow for clearance/flex on big bumps and other things you may encounter driving. I believe they may make the car a hair lower as well. What kind of budget are you working with? I would look into some Illuminas personally. GR-2's are a stock replacement unit.
