Skunk2 Lowering Springs

**hastE** · 27-10-2008 08:43 PM

when new, my skunk2 springs on factory shocks gave 1 finger gap. after ~5000kms it settled at 0.5finger gap.

i have an EG with 15x7 205/50/R15 and do not scrub or rub at full lock.

EKs may have deeper/smaller guard liners, so i am unable to tell you how they are.

but tyre profiles play a big role when your playing with your ride height

right there.

also skunk 2 is better then king in quality wise. why dont you save a bit more and upgrade your shocks so no need to do it later and pay. as you are getting someone else to do it for you, i would adivise to get shocks changed aswell. because it does put a bit of stress on them and it will cost more to get ure car jacked up again and changed

Hmmmm... good point

Well i've basically saved up for the springs, but what are some of the cheap shocks options (yes im pov atm

) to go with the skunk2 springs ?? should i just get new stock shocks (even tho i know it will end up the same except it sort of delay the issue longer

)

btw Anyone can compare these with Eibach pros in term of performance, durability and look-wise ?

thanks yo

eibach pro springs ? or shocks, both skunk 2 and eibach are good imo. USA people just love them. i have never used eibach springs before , but had a look at some shocks, which were pretty good

Umm i'd recommend eibach sportlines over pros because the front is lower by 0.1" which is uber and that they are a bit stiffer!

You reckon ? hmmmm i'll look into that then. How about their sportsline compared to these skunk2s though ?

and also any cheap alternatives shocks for these lowering springs ?

cheers!

i would stick to skunk2 shocks with skunk 2 springs, plus its easy to get from 999, as i think eibach has to be import.

**BNK** · 28-10-2008 01:50 PM

So you reckon i should just not buy the springs yet, save up more and get both springs and sports shocks later on down the track and have them fit in together yeh ??

heard skunk2 shocks leak :/
was about to get em.
999 quoted me 550 + delivery
i think jdmyard had em for 650.

add another 300 and you have koni yellows.
read reviews before buying.
this forum saved me from buying d2 coilovers.

yer well its well known fact d2s are straight from taiwan. lol.

i dunno about skunk 2 shocls leaking. i have read numeous ones but maybe some do. konis are also good but i think thats pushing this guys budget. skunk2 on skunk2 springs is way to go. best to buy them and install later or DIY
