looking into a set of the skunk 2 coilovers, because I cant afford to buy set that cost more than $600, but I want something that I can adjust for drag racing, and something that dont feel as sloppy as the tokico hp struts.

I actually just bought and installed a set of these on my ej8. Compared to my old setup of h&r race springs on agx struts, they are amazing. The ride is a little stiff, but I'm used to it. I love em on my DD.
