So I am ready to get some springs (income check FTW) and I've decided on Skunk 2. The question I have is that some people say that it's a 2in drop while there website says only a 1in drop. Anyone know if the website is wrong or are there two sets of springs. I'm looking for the ones with a 2in drop so anyone got the answer?

 

They are around 2 inches. However, If you want to drop the car 2 inches or more, springs are the worst way to do it. A full coilover setup should be a must. And at the very least, Koni Yellows with the proper valving for the springs.

 

im not wanting anything more then 2. if they are a little less or pretty close then I'll be fine with that. thanks for the help Pappy

 

heres my s2k on skunk2's

 

^ they're on backwards.

r u serious?...does 'f' not mean front and 'r' mean rear?...thats the way i have it setup

 

Longer springs go in the front to support the weight of the engine.

 

Stop with this [freak]in debate again. Look, it just looks plain stupid with the back lower than the front. It looks like one of those oldsmobiles with blown suspension, or lincoln whatever they're called lol
More coils in the rear. Makes the rear just a tiny bit higher. The way it should be!!!!!

 

I like them alot I dont know why but it looks good with the rake effect.

 

All about preference. I have them on the right way because i don't want to look like a streetrod that should have massive slicks on the rear. The rear gets more of a drop to even out the factory springs having the rear a bit higher. if you measure or just actually look it actually evens it out. The debate is stupid, if you don't think skuck2 new which they wanted on the front and which on the rear then don't buy them.

...??? The car has 50/50 weight distribution.

I didn't like the rake either. I had mine on where the front was lower. It handled great since the rear should really not be lowered too much. I wasn't a fan of the rake, however. I wasn't a fan of the backwards slant either. So I sold mine.

Skunk2 was freaking lagging on the information about those. I called and got 2 different answers. My friend called and got 2 different answers. His ended up one way, mine ended up the other way and we'd always F around and say "yours are on wrong". Glad they're marking them now. Who the F doesn't mark springs?

Here's a picture of the rake. I dont have any good pictures with my KW setup yet.

are you dumb? the car is almost 50 50, it has more to do with damper room than anything else.

more or less coil doesnt mean jack sh-t, there's progressive springs with 10 coil that has less height than a stock 5-6 coil spring. not to mention the spring constant is different

 

I used to have a Prelude a few years ago, had Skunk2 coilovers on Koni yellow struts. It was a pretty low ride, but I never scraped unless it was a nasty bump. But that was with coilovers on.

I'm thinking about springs for my '06, but does it make it a whole lot lower? The roads aren't that great around here, plus I drive a lot, so I don't want it TOO low, just want it to look and feel better.
