3062, coil overs ??? opinions Posted by Talon, Jul-02-01 11:28 AM ok i want to lower my car but if i get a pro kit it is like 225 and if i get ground control coil overs it cost 400. so should i get pro kit or save for 1 or 2 more weeks and get coil overs. also with coil overs do i have to get new shocks right away? also i only want 1-1.5 inch drop | |

3063, RE: coil overs ??? opinions Posted by eclipse804, Jul-02-01 01:09 PM I would get ground controls since they are adjustable and use Eibach springs. I went from H&R Springs to Skunk2 coilovers personally. I can get the GC coilovers for 370 plus shipping, which is not a good price for me, but maybe its good for you? | |

3064, RE: coil overs ??? opinions Posted by klipzracer, Jul-02-01 01:47 PM whoa there keemosabee! get the maxspeeds. my friend had a set of skunks in his gs-t and his $h!t was like hydro's!! and his shocks were good too and you can get maxspeeds cheaper than GC. lindsey(cyan) had max's on his car and he said they were butta! if i was to get coilovers i would get those. | |

3068, RE: skunk 2 Posted by eclipticrider, Jul-05-01 02:25 PM so skunk 2s are no good?? i was just going to order them in a couple of weeks. they aren't good on n/ts ?? i mean if they are better than the others i'd rather spend a little more now and not worry about it later. | |

3069, RE: skunk 2 Posted by eclipse804, Jul-05-01 03:42 PM skunk2's are a racing coilover, and they use pretty stiff springs for the street (about 550 lb/in in front, 450's in the rear). I hear they are really good performance wise for turning etc, just not that comfortable for driving. Your ride will be stiff if you have aftermarket shocks, but I can stand it...I learned that racing suspensions are Not supposed to be comfortable, so if you want a really comfortable ride, the best bet is to get lowering springs, or coilovers with soft (less performance) springs in them... | |

3070, RE: skunk 2 Posted by klipzracer, Jul-05-01 11:41 PM the great christopher sports a set of Tenzo R racing springs with the 2" drop. and don't forget that camber kit lil bucky! | |

3071, RE: skunk 2 Posted by Talon, Jul-06-01 04:53 AM so maxspeeds or groundcontrol??? what springs do maxspeeds use???ground control uses pro springs. also what chamber kit did you get chris. i think i will order mine from rre for our cars...not a bad price. but maxspeed or groundcontrol ????? | |

3072, RE: skunk 2 Posted by HadesOmega, Jul-06-01 08:00 PM Haha I'm pretty sure with prokits you'll get a bumpy ass ride too. I got skunk2s and they are pretty stiff. They're great performance coilover though. I watched my autocross video and my car doesn't roll for shit. It's totally flat. It's good to have a stiff spring sometimes too, it'll save you from scratchin your bumper. Try to find some on ebay, that's how I got my KYB AGXs and SKUNK2s for like 400, and the coilovers were already installed. | |
