Patience, young grasshopper!


Seriously though, it's a question which has been asked and answered many times here. That could be why people aren't jumping in with answers.


You'll get your mix of fans and naysayers. Those who swear by them, those who like to call them "junk 2" and whatnot. In the end it leaves you right where you are now.... wondering whether or not you should buy them.


Sometimes trial and error is the only way.



Now, would I put Skunk2 coilovers on my car? Simply put... no.

^ this was posted about 10hrs before your post. It now sits just a few threads below yours.. Like mentioned, this has been asked and answered numerous times not just here, but on various other forums. If you can't google and read to figure it out on your own, nothing anyone says here will help you... Good luck.

Hey when a hammer is beating you in the head, maybe you should wake up and listen to what it has to say.

You said you saw that other thread right? Did it not hit you in the face that fitment was an issue? How about those other threads that probably had something to say about fitment issues. Or quality issues. Or poor customer service experiences.

FWIW, I have only bought/used one Skunk2 product and it was basically because I had no other choice. Their newly designed front upper control arms for a '91 Si. Fitment upon installation was bad. After driving and putting a race on them, again fitment issues are showing with the arm where the ball joint meet is rubbing against their control arm with only -2.8* of camber. Any more negative camber and there would likely be serious issues with rubbing and wear against the control arm.

I don't know how much more info you want or need. Like mentioned, people have said these things over and over in probably hundreds, if not thousands, of threads over various forums. If that doesn't help you decide, nothing will... So either buy them and give it a shot or research something else.

Skunk2 coilovers=Junk2!!!! They are noisy and extremely harsh. I am trying to sell them but I refuse to sell to anyone I know personally because they are such junk!!!

Good luck wasting all that money on a complete junk suspension!!!

My progress CS-II coilovers are like driving my lexus. It is wonderful, I can actually drive my car for more than a hour without having to take pain pills now!!! They were really that bad!

A piece of 4x4 wood would probably be better than a junk2 suspension.
