I'll be installing my skunks in the next couple days, one problem I have is figuring out where to set the sleeve to get the perfect ride height. I'm looking for a no finger gap up front and out back...any suggestions from someone who already has them installed ? Thanks !

 

All the way to the ground? Just lower it until you like it.

Im happy with my 2 1/2 inch on the front and 2 in the back drop.

 

for now im all jacked up as far as i can go on the skunk 2's... its like a 1" drop from factory... cant seem to get away from thoes nyc pot holes...

I know I could do that, I'm trying to find out where to set the sleeve before I even put them on the car so I don't have to mess with it once it's on the car.

 

your going to have to mess with it..i have yet to see a set of coilovers on that you dont have to lift and lower the car a million times to get the ride height right..

 

on tha flo

 

i just installed mine yesterday...
i have no finger gaps in the front or back. just a tad of a tuck in the front and slightly higher in the back.
what i did was measure 4.5cm from the bottom of the perch to the bottom of the lower adjustable ring. the back set i did 4cm.
not sure if this will work for u. it was all trial and error for me.
hope this helps

 

yes, you have to mess with it to get it right, infact if you want it accurate have someone meause the height while your in the car. That way you can get an accurate height with the added driver weight. and when your not in the car, the left corner will be little higher than the rest.

 

this question sucks. You need to specify what car you have, what skunk2's you got, what shocks you are using, wheel/tire size, than MAYBE someone can help you.

 

thanks andyboy

I have the S2's and I adjust them all the time...I'm tucking tire on all four corners, and the sleeves are cranked way down.

 

you have to just count the threads. i have them on my 00 civic and here are my settings for about what you are looking for. front: 26 threads on bottom of the perches. rear:10 threads on top of the perches. cant really count threads from the bottom up on the rear because the strut bottom is in the way

i got the agx's too
