Anyone have Skunk2 coilovers ?? comments ? problems ?

 

i got em on a 97' lx and i love em, no real problems but when you life the car on a jack or hydro lift the springs drop just make shur they settle back down onto the perches.

 

I have skunk2 springs but on a custom coilover setup, they are alright but I want mine stiffer like 800-1000 lbs

 

I think I'm going to get them.

Any idea what i should expect to pay for them w/ installation ?

 

Installation should take no longer than 3 hours... I personally don't find them too streetable since they are way too stiff for most off the shelf shocks (even Koni adjustables)...

 

ithink the rates are around 350lbs front
400 rear
thats borderline for Koni's

 

The rates are 500F and 400R... too much for Koni to handle (or at least mine)...

 

i like my skunk

 

i wish mine looked that clean. i think the ride is good, no complaints here! i think i paid 269 for a set.

 

this is my homegurl's accord (dumped!!!)









now dump yo shietttttttttttt

 

I got skunks on my 96. I like em alot. I actually have the prelude coilover set-up in mine for an even stiffer ride. I adjusted them all the way down, and the ride was pretty ruff. But when I raised them up 3/4 of an inch it made the ride really nice.

 

i have found out that if you put the ST sway bar on the rear w/ skunk2 coilover setup, the ST sway bar will reduce the bounciness on the rear side, since the ST sway bar won't flex as much as the OEM ones.

 

nice drop sir2k

 

Hope she has camber kit and alignment

 

i got em on my 02 SE..and i love em...been with skunk2 since ive gone through 3 cars...and have no complaints...they are a little stiff..but that's just how i like it...

 

your all about dumper cars, even got home slice in the back round, i hear skunk 2 coilovers are junk, riden in a 4th gen about 2" drop with skunks and its bounce city

 

May as well shell out the extra change and get the ground controls.

 

Why ??? They're WAY softer.

 

Just never get a set of VIS Coil-Overs.... damn thing rides like ****!!

 

Installation should take no longer than 3 hours... I personally don't find them too streetable since they are way too stiff for most off the shelf shocks (even Koni adjustables)...

I agree I had them coilovers on tokicos and they went now on kyb's and the a sqeaking like crazy about to switch over to H&R's or GC's cause they come in custom spring rates.

hey "sir2k"! how much did you drop your accord??
like 2inches?? nice drop btw.

 

oh, that's not my accord. it's my friend's. I think she dropped it like 3 inches, if not more. She wants it lower but not a good idea. As long as the stock fat wheel gap is gone then it's koo. She had to get a set of camber kit and new set of tires.
But that's with weapon R coilovers not skunk2. Same ****, not looking for performance anyways, just looks.
