Need Opinion on Skunk2 products

Hello, I was trying to look into what suspension I want. Right now my eg is lowered by Vogtland springs(german made), and they only lowered my car about 1 inch =/. Also, I replaced my stock shocks with Kyb Gr-2s... but they arent anyting special.

I was wondering about skunk2 springs and skunk2 shocks. I dont want coilovers because I wont be doing any hardcare track or anything. Also, I dont want to spend a lot on my suspension. I just want basicaly the cosmetic lowering purpose and also a little better handling.

Does any one have any experience with skunk2 springs and shocks? Any help would be much apreciated. Thanks!! :thumb:

Go with the Skunk2 Pro-S Full coilovers. They're not that expensive, you can lower your ride as much as you want, and it also gives you a better handling (they are not for full track use though)

Hmmm.... They did cross my mind... I need more opinions though before I buy the suspension set up. I think I did read a good write up on the coilovers though

No offence, but full coil-overs are only about 100 more than shocks and springs. May aswell just pay out for a decent suspention set which you wont regret. I would recommend Tein Basics :thumb: you can drive your car on the ground if you wish.

The skunk2 pro-s coil overs are awesome. they ride super well, and adjust height up or down as much as you'd like.

I would recommend going with some Tein Basics or something like that as well.. I have heard that Skunk2's suspension products are really stiff..

yes! the koni/ground control is one of the best suspension setups on the market right now.
