Hello i have a question no negative comments please, i have skunk2 sport shocks on my car and are great but, i want to knoe if i can ride skunk2 sleeves(coils) i want to go a bit lower like 1 finger gap, and will the ride be smooth or harsh??

 

What springs do you have on it now?

 

I have the skunk2 sport shocks on a 89 si with some ebay coilovers and it rides pretty good as well. Lowering another inch should be fine. I would be more worried if you were slamming it on the ground.

 

It will be harsh. It will be fairly slammed at the point, not scraping during regular driving, but quite low. I think this would be better suited for the suspension subforum though. But back on topic. When you go low, you have to have higher spring rates or you will bottom out. That goes hand and hand with a rough ride if you use quality parts. If you use eBay products, not targetting anyone, it will probably be bouncy. That's what I've always heard. I read the reviews on skunk2 coilovers and basically they all said, "Now I'm slammed and love it! #WhatEverKidsSay"

Final opinion, go with the full skunk2 set up. You will probably enjoy it over all since this is what you want.

 

He already has the skunk2 sport shocks. I have used the skunk2 coilovers with stock struts on a 93 CX and it was a nice ride. The sport shocks on my current car are definately better than original however I went with a sport height instead of being stanced and negative camber. Just my preferance. On my other car I will probably end up with either progress or skunk2 full setup but that will be more of a race car.

 

I'm opting for Progress CSII myself. But I don't like the lowered look that he is going for.

I did suggest getting the skunk2 coilover sleeves since he has the sport shocks. I was just detailing the common complaints. I also said he'd be plenty happy with it for what he wants.

 

I have skunk 2 lowering springs

 

I have skunk 2 lowering springs on right now

 

So you have skunk2 springs and shocks. Correct? How are you planning on going lower with skunk2 coilovers like these:

Adjusting the coilovers to the height i want witch is a little above tier

 

Get them and sell your springs. Should come out pretty cheap and it will be low like you want.

 

But will it ride smooth ?

 

Does it ride smooth now? It will probably be marginally worse than it is now.

 

Those coilovers and shocks will be fine. As said previously I have used both on seperate occasions. Your car will handle much better than original. I would be more concerned with bushings for the ride quality as yours if not replaced are over 20 years old.

 

I have the Skunk2 coil overs and the ride is absolutely harsh. I bounce around so hard sometimes that I feel like my kidney will fall out. If you ever plan on having a girl in the car, stick with what you got.

This is what it looks like with a fair amount of height. When I first started out, the car was resting on the tires, in the front.

 

But what shocks do. You have?

 

Its rides smooth now, not harsh at all

 

These are what I have:

 

You have the fully coilover dampers and everything tho right?pro s

 

Yeah, it is the whole pro setup, so I do have the hard dampeners.

 

my brother had this "pro setup" on a sedan and it was exactly like sstupid said. HARSH.
i think its really made for track use
