Opinions on Skunk2 Coilovers.

I can get skunk2 coilovers pretty cheap. Although, I am more impressed with the ground controls with how easy they are to adjust. How do you adjust the Skunk2's? Some one let me know soon, this is the next project.........

Skunk 2's are great springs. They make everything rather well. Talk to 13secondcivic more about it and im sure he will tell you they are good.

If you are talking about the coilover sleeves, adusting Ground Controls and Skunk2's will be the same ... Make sure you change your shocks to aftermarket ones or you'll hate the ride ... Personally I think that the Skunk2's are a little too stiff ...

I have a set of the old Skunk Racing Coilovers.. I hated them.. But Im like 95% sure that they have changed the spring rates since then so that they are a little softer, the ride may not be as bad, but I cant tell you for sure.

the skunk2 sleeves arent bad, of course i could be saying that because i have them. yeah they are a bit on the stiff side, and adjusting them honestly can sometimes be a pain. they come with spanner wrenches you use to tighten/loosen the collars where afterwards you just spin them up or down the sleeve. what size rims do you have?

so you wont have to take your rims off to adjust the coil-overs either.

if you just HAVE to have coilover sleeves, get Ground Controls. better springs and order directly from GC, as they will send you springs to match your desired performance level.

i have had no luck in properly balancing cars equipped with Skunk2 or crappier sleeve setups... their springs are crap and always create an unbalanced ride.
