Ive been looking at coilovers for my 2.3 & found a skunk2 set for a lil over $200. Is that a good price? Also, is that a good brand for the ack?

Feel free to leave suggestion. Any input helps

 

hmmm, this wouldnt be in the private sales section would it ? If it is, somebody beat you to them hehe. Im offering 160 for a set of koni yellows to this fellow and i think he still has the skunk 2s for sale ( im not buying them with the strust ) so if you want, i can ask him how low he is willing to go for the complete skunk 2 coilovers. I know i can get him down below the 200 mark

 

skunk2's are alright. go for some Ground Controls. they have Eibach springs on them

 

I have skunk 2 with tokico 5 way adjustables and its a match made in heaven. its a nice stiff ride. but then again if you dont like it that stiff you can adjust it. mine are on 3 all around and my skunk2 are 2.5 in the front and 1.75 in the rear

 

can koni yellows handle a 2 inch drop ?

 

i'm thinking of going Tein coilovers in the spring....not a fan of the sleeve type

 

easily. with prokits set on the lower perch my cl was dropped about 2.5" with the wheels just starting to tuck. i eventually set it one perch higher at 2" and they worked perfect.

 

Yeah see what the deal is . Thanx

 

sleeves are ....trust me, i would know

do it right the first time...

 

so nothing with sleeves? Should I go Tein?

 

well, if you want to do it full out, then yes, but you need $$$

 

yeah i noticed that while searching for em. Well what if Im in the $ & $$ zone? haha

what would be good?

 

what the rest of us have... kyb agx struts/eibach sportlines ;p

 

hmmm, smartass , j/k, nothing wrong with smartasses, i am one!....people seem to prefer the omni's, and i've heard real good things about them. they should keep you no higher than the $$ range

 

some more $$$$$ so you could get some tein's

 

get some omnis, d2s or teins...all good but teins cost more than the rest

 

GET OMNI'S!!!! =) they are some badass coilovers =) have em' and i love them. .
the minute i got them on . .. i felt the handling get better as well . ..
and get a full coilover . . . skunk2's are bad but for the best bang for the buck. . i'd go with omni's =) really good stuff. . .i like em' better than the teins basic

 

omni's are great... i'd let u ride in my car if u were around... but i don't think you are.. The sport set up (is what me and bebop have) are a little stiff... but they are bearable... definitely something worth to give up for the better turning and such. You may wanna try the "street" set up... its suppose to be more street suitable... i don't know anyone that has those so i can't tell u how those feel... but i'm sure they're great too. Omnis get a from me.

 

you can get them for $100 over at HondaTech.com brand new. Either that, or it was another forum that I've browsed through. Check our sponsors to see if we sell them...

 

everyone on honda tech/accordingly done hates skunk2..


i'm going to get some ground control coilovers becuase like someone said above they had eibach springs.. and the eibach springs i have now rock, just arnt low enough

 

Ground Control coilovers are really nice. Skunk 2 will be bumpy. You still need to get shocks...add an extra $400 to your coilovers.

Your best bet is to get TEIN SS coilovers. They are a coilover and shock with adjustable dampering.

 

i got tein SS on my 2.3 also. looks, and feels great. i recommend this if you have a grand to spend. how i think of it is, if you're about to keep your car, mine as well go all out on every part you're buying. because you wont be satisfied in the long run.

another thing, how come everyone's talking about springs n shock combos. isnt this thread asking for coilovers the first place?

 

Skunk2's ride like crap even with aftermarket struts. Tein's have an ok ride but will be bumpy at times. (series of bumps) I would look into getting d2 coilovers with 7kg/6kg for best possible daily ride. The omni's are a little harsh for daily imo. If you want a more comfortable ride ether tein or d2's. I have tein ss's rite now and was planning on changing my front springs out for 7kg springs before I decided to just sell my car.

 

Stay away from sleeve coilovers, i've had VIS, and GC's and they all road like shit IMO

 

i have dropzone sleeves and mine seem just fine for some reason. ( although, bouncy as fuck on road dips. ) Fuck it though, im savin for 4 weeks and getting omnis

 

one thing i dont like about my tein ss is how i could still rock my car fairly easy when it's to the stiffest dampening.

 

well thanx for the help guys. My internet has been out for a few days so i just got to see all your replies.

You all rock like crack

 

hey... thats the benefits of being a girl. and dont even think about dissagreeing.

 

haha. But if i was a 200 lb girl would i get all this help?..hmmmm

 

................................






hey... 200lb chick could be fine too.

 

More cushion for the pushin!

 

thanks for the backup lunchbox.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Each of those has got to weigh close to 60lbs, no?
And you're still getting lots of help!

lol... By the way... It may have been subtle, but that WAS a compliment!
