hey guys i have a tight budget and im looking at the skunk2 adjustable sleeve coilovers for my 99 TL!
do you think the ride will be okay with the original struts?
if not how can i compisate this?

coilovers should come with new shocks/struts
otherwise you are just buying a set of coil springs,,shorter than stock

stock 99 shocks and lowering springs = soon to be buying new shocks!
they are not made to operate beyond a certain range- lowering causes them
to do that and the main seal fails inside = new shock

you will forever hate how your car rides when you put those on.



i suggest pairing them with a good set of shocks.

by the time money is spent on shocks, you will notice that you could have bought F&F Type-I coilovers with just a little bit more.

Im very happy with the TEIN SS, which beside having a threaded collar to move the lower spring perch and adjust car height, the shocks are designed to give the same
amount of travel as stock- even though lowered (a major bonus not found in other brands)

and the trick part: the top adjustment for oil flow rate- changes dampening from setting 16 super stiff-race track use, down to to 0, which makes the car wallow
so 2-4 clicks is great for a wife pleasing amount of bumps absorbed

It will seem to hop over bumps rather than go thru them
does increase ride stiffness from that perspective- but you didnt want to lower the car and get performance shocks and springs to have it ride like an old lady car, right?
