should i return my h&r sport springs and get the skunk2 coilovers? im saving up for my shocks right now (need 60 more bux) and my H&Rs are in my room. is it worth the extra 100 for the ground controls? are they difficult to change the height and are there perches? peace!

are the skunks' stiffer than the h&r, i want the stiffest ride! remember, ima have koni yellows!
ummm if i were you i'd take back the HR sport...the drop is not noticeably..maybe the front...but the rear will lower like 1.3 inches..you will have a huge wheel gap...if you got the HR race spring....they lower 2" all around...that looks a little better...but get coilovers...so u can raise it up when u get a body kit and have to get your car emissioned....the skunks will bounce, GC is very good....pricey but good...
I have skunk2 and i like the ride i had GC on my old civic Si and to me it feels the same :D
even with the koni yellows... will the skunks be bouncy. i want a smooth ride with good handling!

yeah...it would still be bouncy...but not to the point where you'd want to throw up...
the main thing is,... what is gonna have a stiffer ride? im not gonna be goin lower than 2".

oh yah, how do u know the height on the skunk2 gc's, are there settings or u just eyeball it?
my skunk2's aren't bouncy at all...spring rate of 400 front 500 rear:)
Yeah, what's all this talk about Skunk2's being bouncy? I've had my Skunks dropped the full 3" for over a year now and have never felt anything that I would call "bouncy"...
okay.... i've made my decision.!!! i'm gonna keep my h&r's, and by the end of the summer, if i'm not diggin' em', im gonna sell em and get the skunk2's!!! peace!

How do you lower your car soo much without bottuming the shock out??

id get the ground controls. ive read a few bad things about skunk2s...but never one thing bad about GCs. i wouldnt put anything in my suspension that i dont trust...nothing but the best for your suspension.

I'm using the stock shocks. I guess they're just magical.... :rolleyes:
Oh yea? So what are these "bad things" you've heard about our coilovers? Skunks mihgt be a little harsh compared to GC but our suspension is more race oriented when only the best will do.

im sure skunk2 coilovers are very good. all im saying is that ive heard better things about GC coilovers and i would say that they are worth the difference in money.
