Hey mate, if you could dig up a pic that would be great! Pics tell a thousand words!
ive just finished work, pics at night arent as good as during day
will put pics up tomoro for you to decide
i would like to point out, 999 trader may have different skunk2 springs then the one i have on the car which was bought from US (I AM BASING ON THIS WITH THE PIC HE/SHE HAS PUT UP FOR SALE, PLEASE DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT). so different model springs might be a factor with height and spring rates.
FYI these are the skunk2 springs i have on the car. Part Number:-
519-05-5005.

According to this your part number doesn't exist.

So was it a 2.5" front and 2.25" drop for your car in the end? (actually hoping for less)
I think this would be the part I'm looking for and what you most probably have:

Thanks for the pics hastE
just one quick question. would a 2.0 drop on a vti be the same as a typeR? keeping in mind that the type r is already on lowered oem springs.
according to them all there integra springs 94-01 are the same so yer i guess same
according to TI (US site):
"I installed skunk2 lowering springs on my KYB AGX (already installed) shocks this weekend. I then took it for an allignment and they double-checked to make sure everything was buttoned down.
The car is just about un-driveable right now. It sits so low that the tires are tucking. If I turn any direction, the front tires rub. It sits so low the the exhaust cannister knocks against the lower control arm when I hit bumps. It pulls right under acceleration and left while braking. The front end also vibrates under hard acceleration. It didn't do any of this before and I had cheap coil-overs on it.
I've heard that Skunk2 springs are low, but I havn't read where anyone couldn't drive their car on them. Has anyone else had trouble and what did you do? "
Apparently new bushings and LCAs are also needed.
Second thoughts...
he put skunk2 lowering springs on sports shocks which are already quite low. as long as you use them on standard suspension you will be fine.
EKVTIR-T: thats a nice chart, yeh i just copied and paste the part number but i am 100% certain its a 2.2" and 2.0" drop as previously stated.
updated overall price - skunk2 $500 installed/alignment
what you guys think?
Is that from 999Automotive?
I thought the springs alone were about 220-250?
It was from another store called OTR.
They get the springs from 999 Automotive still, but are charging 250 for install/alignment (quoted 300 previously). Will look into other places for cheaper installation/alignment. Many do install without any alignment though. i.e. another place 180 install.
Else I could probably save myself the trouble and go with king springs for $350 installed - although then it wouldn't be skunk2 quality...
