Default Skunk 2 lowering springs. Are they crap??????

just wondering if anyone has ran these lowering springs on there cars. How do they ride? I was thinking about getting Skunk2 Coilovers but I don't like how they ride. Could someone shed some light on these springs. I was thinking about buying these springs soon..

They suck, the company sux and the customer support sux. oh and their packaging department sux too cuz they can't put the right spings in the box. As far as ride, i couldn't tell you cuz they were the wrong springs

I would look else where. Just my opinion.

I haven't had experience with the springs, or the company's products. I just never got the right springs and called them about it and they acted dumb, told me they would call me back about it. They didn't, I had to call 6 more times and a month later I got usefull info that they are the wrong springs and they were boxed wrong. This was my first time dealing with this company and also my last.
Is this the same company that makes the cams that snaped in half on a few engines? Buy what you want from them, i'm just giving my opionion. Sorry to offend some of you.
