Default Anybody running skunk2 lowering springs and sport shocks?

I came across a bundle on eBay for $459 for the lowering springs and the shocks. I was wondering if they're any good? If anyone is running them on their EF please post pictures.

I have the sport shocks on my DA9 with ground control springs and it rides decent but i would recommend extended top hats if your going lower than 1.75"

Skunk2 setup would be fine, however I would look at Progress group coilovers with your budget. They are a sitr sponser and have quite a bit of information in sponsor suspension thread.

Considering your dropping the car 2-2.25" and still utilizing a "stock style" shock your gonna be riding on bump stops and bouncing. Also with those spring rates you WILL HAVE some body roll. Cut the bump stops and gets some extended top hats and it should be a decent budget ride.

Is there any certain extended top hats you'd recommend to go with this setup?

Ebay tophats should give you no issues, if you have a welder handy you can cut and extend your oem tophats as well.
