Looking at brand new skunk2 coilovers for $200
But a friend said they bounce like hell..
He recommended ground control coils
which id like to get because many people said they are top of the line
but I dont want to spend over 300 on coilovers
I have a 99si

Any ideas? suggestions? deals?

 

All coilover sleeves are going to "bounce like hell" when you install them on stock shocks, regardless of brand. Stock shocks are not intended to be used with the drastically stiffer spring rates found on aftermarket coilovers. The shocks are more important from a performance standpoint than the coilovers are.

If you only have $300, then you realistically can't afford new coilovers (having enough money to buy something doesn't equate to being able to afford it). Buy someone's complete used setup, or continue saving until you can afford the coilover sleeves and a proper set of shocks to go with them. Tokico Illuminas are inexpensive and work well with the Skunk2s and Ground Controls.

If you refuse to listen to this good advice and rush into installing coilover sleeves on your stock shocks, you're only going to end up at the same conclusion when you have to buy aftermarket shocks anyway once you blow out the stock ones. Rather than being impatient, you might as well save yourself the hassle of doing the job twice, and just do it right the first time.

 

Thank you.
