Default Dropzone coil over sleeves / skunk2 shocks for temporary use ?

Hey ht I have a eg hatch on dropzone coil sleeves on stock shocks/struts .. The car came with them I wuldnt have gone so cheap , ive researched and see that they suck, I could also tell you from expirence its a bouncy ride . So I found sk2 shocks/struts for a very good price never used and I was wondering if I make the switch will Ihave a good ride until around dec where I plan to buy better sleeves? Also what kinda ride would I have woth the combo?

The car will see some pulls on the track , can I get some feedback soon so i could decide to make the purchase.... Im gettin tired of the bumpy ride !

The same bouncy, shitty ride as you have now.

Just hold off until december when you can swing the new suspension.

lol I know how you feel! My car rides like *** as well.

The shocks, "may" make a differnece, but I almost sure the ride will still be rough, and may still be bouncey.

How much can you get the shocks for?

Shocks normally will stop, or help lesson the amount of bounce, BUT, shitty springs are shitty springs. The sk2 shocks, aren't the greatest either.

The S2 shocks should help alot if the stock shocks are blown. The S2 shocks are also valved for higher spring rates than stock shocks.

They're also known to ride very rough.

For $260 I wouldn't do it.

if you want to spend the money, than go for it.

But I will tell you right now, BWR is a horrible product, shitty company that tells lies on top of lies.I wouldn't spend a $100 on them.

If you plan to save up for the suspension, take a look at koni/gc. It's not more more money, and will be a lot setup, and will last a lot longer. If not, take a look at progress CS-2's

Progress CSII-350f/350r. Hands down the superior product in your price range.

YEP!

Although, I'd go a little higher up front. Depending on low you want to go the 350lb in front is a tad too low.
