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.

With Skunk2 Coilovers, enthusiasts can quickly and precisely set adjustments to improve the vehicle’s handling, response, cornering, stability and balance.

what are the available spring rates? Can you do custom rates?

 

I would suggest riding on them first and see how you like them. I think that the springrates that we use should be perfect for your fit. Custom springrates are available in 10/8/6kG spring rates.

 

oh SNAP! thats a great deal.......

and thats pretty cool of yall to do that. test before you buy...hmm thats great!


ehhh.....so tempting.

 

Come on you guys! Get it before its gone!!

 

what do you guys do with the coilovers that people dont want?? send them to other people?? just curious.

 

Comon.. no ones gonna want to return these after they use them. If they do return them we ship them out to the next person who wants them. If you like them and want to keep the used set we will give you a slight discount for them. Remember these are only used 1 week at a time and some cases less. This is a new promotion for a limited time so dont expect this to be something that will be available next month.

 

i'm going to do my taxes ASAP and figure out how much I'll get back. if i calculate that i'm getting a decent amount, i'll be jumping in the Fit and driving out to Skunk2 HQ to pick these bad-boys up immediately!

 

this really is a good program. i commend skunk2 for consumer relations.

im just a weirdo and i dont like my parts molested by other people. hehe.

but because you guys are willing to do a "try before you buy" i will seriously consider buying these coilovers new when im ready to get different coilovers. if anything, it says alot about how much faith you have behind these parts. good job guys!!!

 

Thanks guys!

 

Tony, sneak a set onto my ride while its over there lol.

 

Im not looking to just tool around on the street with these, What are the rates that it comes with? Unless i missed it somewhere

Also will these be re valved If i order say 10k rates?

 

The spring rates I believe are a 10/8 which is similar to the spring rates that we use for the 92-95 Civic Hatch back. If you read the reviews on the Honda tech Forums the guys on there love these coilovers. The valving on these coilovers can handle up to a 18kg springrate. So the answer is no... you would not need to revalve the shocks and our shocks come with a 1 year warranty! If you ever need a shock rebuilt we have replacement shocks that cost less then if you were to have them rebuilt. That way there is no down time for you what so ever!

 

I'm on it. Called Tony today and he was extremely helpful and very cool. This is exactly the sort of offer I needed to get me over the incessant wavering back and forth and questioning about springs vs. this vs. that...on and on all because I was just too unsure if I would like them or not, then didin't want to be stuck with them or have to take a hit selling them "used". I am new to tuning so I don't have much experience to draw from.

From talking to Tony, these really deliver-- the softest setting is similar to a stock ride, while the mid range (6-8) gets you more aggressive, and then up to 12 for track-time. Not to mention adjustable ride height! (which I know is a feature of others too), but, I mean geez-- what have you got to lose?? It's Skunk2 so you know the quality is there. I guess the cost of an alignment (maybe 2 if you decide to send them back).

If you have the cash but not the certainty (like me), then this offer is just too good to pass up.

Thanks Skunk2!

 

Hey guys I'm happy to see that many of you have already pre ordered your coil overs. They should be shipped out by this monday and I know you will enjoy it. If anyone else is interested please E-mail me at Testdrive@skunk2.com or give me a call at 951-808-9888 Ext. 219 and ask for Tony N

 

is it possible to purchase the "returned" coilovers? save a little $$$$?

:evil laugh:

 

Your more then welcome to buy a slightly used set at an additional discount depending on the useage of coilovers but im sure we wont get any returns on this product.

 

Great news guys... I was just updated that the Spring rates for the GD3 Honda fit will be 8kg front and 6kg rear springs.

 

That sounds perfect. Thanks Tony!

 

*cries*

lol. yeah, you guys are probably right. if you DO get a return, let me know
