New Skunk2 PRO-C "Test Drive" Try and Ride Program!


FEBURARY 2008 | NEW PROMOTIONAL PROGRAM





New Skunk2 PRO-C "Test Drive" Try and Ride Program!

When it comes to making bigger purchases for your high performance vehicle, sometimes making the right choice might be harder than you think. You can read all the reviews, testimonies, or even advice from friends, but in the end there are no guarantees until you actually test the product on your car.

Skunk2 wants to make your buying decision easier than ever before and free of any risks or disappointments! Skunk2's all new "Test Drive: Try and Ride" program, a first of its kind, offers consumers the chance to try a product on their car and evaluate without any risks!*

Here's how the program works:
  • Contact a friendly Skunk2 Racing Sales rep at testdrive@skunk2.com and let them know that you would like to participate in the "Test Drive" program. The Skunk2 Sales Rep wil give you a special price for the "Test Drive" program.
  • Pick out the right Skunk2 Pro-C Coilover for your vehicle to "Test Drive" for a period of one week.
  • You will be charged a special discounted price for the coilovers plus freight and have one week to evaluate the product. If you decide to keep the product, simply contact the Skunk2 sales representative that originally helped you and let them know that you woud like to keep the coilover at a special discount price. If you do not want to keep the coilovers, simply return the coilover after talking to the sales team and they will arrange for you to send the coilovers back.
  • Once the coilovers are returned to Skunk2, they will be inspected and if they are in good condition, ou will receive a full refund*
* Customer is responsible for freight charges. Returned Pro-C Coilovers must be in '"good condition"with no excessive dings, scratches, or excessive wear. If the product is damaged, the refund amount will be subject to a prorated amount.

About the Skunk2 PRO-C Coilovers:
The PRO-C feature the latest advanced shock technology and a carefully designed dampening curve for a shock that dramatically improves handling. The Skunk2 PRO-C Coilovers feature an adjustable mono-tube design with an oversized, micro-polished, hardened steel shaft and piston with a precision honed internal bore and low friction triple seal – resulting in an extremely responsive and durable coilover.
Each PRO-C kit features precise 12-way adjustable valving and one-piece forged shock body for added strength and reliability. Skunk2 PRO-C Coilovers feature shortened shock bodies and shafts to maintain proper suspension travel on lowered vehicles and are adjustable to allow height adjustments without affecting pre-load. Also Included with the Skunk2 PRO-C Coilovers are top mounts with polyurethane bushings. With Skunk2 Coilovers, enthusiasts can quickly and precisely set adjustments to improve the vehicle’s handling, response, cornering, stability and balance.


Key Advantages of the PRO-C Coilovers:
  • Custom Spring rates for certain motorsports applications are available! Full Complete kit with no additional parts necessary to have it track and street ready!
  • Skunk2 stocks in large quantities of replacement dampers so that you don't have to wait for rebuilds in between servicing. New Skunk2 replacement dampers cost less than most rebuild services out on the market! Replacement dampers can be bought directly through Skunk2 so you don't lose any street / track time with fast shipping and service!
  • Built with strength, integrity, and performance in mind with larger shaft diameters, linear springs, and vehicle specific valving!
  • Clear and distinct 12 way clicks with a wider range valving to find the perfect set up for your vehicle!
  • Proven performance! The Skunk2 2006 Civic Si out performed the competition at the 2007 Modified Magazine Tuner Shootout in the skid pad, beating highly modified Mitsubishi Evolutions, Nissan 350z's, and Subaru STi's with the Skunk2 Pro-C Coilovers!
  • Several years of research and development from Pro Racing Teams from all around the world including NHRA, SCCA, Grand-Am Cup, Speed World Challenge, Redine Time Attack, and NASA helped create the PRO-C Coilovers!
Adopted from a vast racing history, the Skunk2 PRO-C Coilover has the racing technology that you can feel whether it's on the track or on the street.

This will be going on for a limited time... We are unsure at this point at the popularity of the program.

Let me know guys we are limited to a few sets that will be going out for the test drive. If your interested let me know since this offer isnt going to last for long. And with a retail price $1499 your never going to get a deal like this ever again.

Thanks, just one more quick one. A competing manufacturer uses a standard 6/6 combo. What are the advantages of the 8/6 over the 6/6 combo in Skunk2's opinion?

I'm sorry there are no sponsorships at this time. We already have 2 Honda Fits that we sponsor currently.

Sounds like a good product and PR deal. I wish I had the money right now.

I'd like to see someone compare all the available coilovers out now. Just the specs, what you get, and price.
Buddy Club, Cusco, Ksport, Megan, Nex, Progress, Tein, T1R...

Megan uses 8f and 10r according to their website. I think one of the highest.

understeer... Not sure why these are advertised very close to the far end which is "Competition" and your worrying about ride comfort? If you want a nice cushy ride get shocks and springs. Your not gonna get great performance and a nice ride, Just doesnt work.If you were to buy this kit i would get custom rates. We drive FWD cars and need all the looseness in the rear we can get

Thanks for the reply, just looking for some feedback to learn one vendor's/manufacturer's approach compared to the other.
