N1 as in APEXi N1 coilovers? If so, then they are definately better than the Skunk2's.

I'm not sure about the N-1s, but i hated the Skunk2s when i had them on my hatchback. They rode like **** and i never was to happy with the way they installed. The springs are tiny (short) so they wouldn't even start to compress until the car was completely lowered off the jack. I liked the height with the S2s, but it wasn't worth it on a daily driver.

I put an eibach pro-kit on w/ koni reds now and couldn't be happier.

$120? then they are not apexi's...i heard skunk2's are ok if you get the appropriate shock/strut.

the skunk2's are comming on a set of KYB AGX adjustable shocks, the N1's are on my stocks, the N1's are nice and smoth for the most part but they get a little bouncy sometimes. I also like the fact that the N1's use a single locking perch as the Skunk2's use a double lock. What kind of ride can i get from KYB's??any one ever used either of these spings with this shock befor??
