    you should seriously consider becoming a salesperson mate! haha i'll check if the pro s coils are also damper adjustable because i guess that would be a major benifit to me if i want a comfy ride, i could just make them less stiff. i get what you mean too mna, i suppose buying a combination of brands won't be as reliable as getting the same brand in one unit. i'll see how much i can get the pro s coils for and decide from there. thanks a lot for your help mate, much appreciated

    Nah they're not damper bro. Skunk2 offers the Pro C coilovers with damper adjustable settings.

    To be honest I don't think you'd get a RWC with either, they'll be too stiff IMO.

    You serious? Alot of the cheaper coilovers out there are rubbish and will start knocking/leaking with enough abuse. And if you blow one, you need to buy a whole new set. The advantage in coilover sleeves are you can choose a good quality shock like koni or agx with dampener control. If a shock happens to fail, take it out, take the sleeve off and replace that shock.

    Wrong.

    Kings spring will fit the Skunk2 Sports shock

    These shocks are just OEM replacement shocks. I recommend getting Kmacs springs as they're made to order with custom spring rate and height. Or reputable brands such as Eibach and such

    PS: if you can stretch your budget to around $1250-$1300 you can get yourself a BC coilovers. Best bang for bucks coilovers.

    If you read the entire thread properly you'd see I'm advocating for the Skunk2 Pro S, which is not a cheap/sh!t coilover.

    Plenty, if not most coilovers, are in fact rebuildable.


    You need to consider the previous discussion so that you don't make poor assumptions on a single sentence just because I didn't draw you a picture to go with it so that you understand it properly.

    And your claims re: king springs not fitting on the OP's desired Skunk2 OEM replacement shocks just further support my point that you haven't read this thread properly.

    settle down guys lol Dougie is right though mate, he wasn't trying to push some shit parts onto me lol just trying to find the best stuff for my budget. It's ok now anyway i've decided to get the skunk2 sports shocks with Eibach springs from JDM Yard. Thanks for all the help Dougie, made my decision much easier

    btw went into Pedders yesterday just to see what they would suggest for me and he told me $1860 for pedders shocks, springs, fitting and allignment lol thank god for the forum traders

    Pedders are considered by a lot of people on this forum to be quite poor quality. My mechanic agrees and I've used them myself and wasn't overly impressed either. That price is also a downright ripoff.

    Sport shocks with Eibach springs, good combo mate, good quality parts. Show us pictures and tell us how they feel
