I have skunk2s with stock struts and its like a pogo stick. I read somewhere on here that the GC is not that bad with stock struts. I don't know how many miles he had on them. That might make a difference. I think you can drop you car the lowest with the skunk2s. I'm going to go with GC when I do my swap.

He is talking about coilovers not springs. I say go with skunk2

EDIT: 1 post away from that lucky #

Same here, Skunk2's w/ integra spring rates on stock struts. Not too bad, but with a set of Koni's i think it would be very nice.

I ve had both gc with integra rates and skunks. I think the skunks handled better with my illuminas then my gc. Maybe its just because the gc integra rates are gay I dont know

i'd say skunk2s...but all of those who say it "rides well/smooth"...thats their own definition and opinion...i've ridden in both and have different thoughts on both...i dont mind that skunk2s are a little stiff...its all upto the person on his/her preferences..i do like that fact that skunk2s adjust pretty low though and are a little cheaper than GC's..but GC's are just as good...it depends on what you want!
