Thanks very much for the insight, slip. I will for sure consider the 615s then.

jazzista-- I got them at that price by literally pouncing on an early offer Skunk2 had when they very fist released these. It only lasted a week or so and I think they came to their senses and had to raise the price. So I don't know about the chances of getting them that low again.

Thank you jsenk.

Do you feel that is worth having the Progress sway bar, even if with your beautiful coilvers?

I got my set of skunk2 pro c coilovers for a beyond killer deal. I will be putting them out this weekend and hopefully try to get pictures and write up a DIY.

of course the pro-c will be stiff enough, but that's only judging by other's experiences and not my own. the dampening adjustment is i believe 12 levels, and 12 is probably track-stiff. lol.
the profiling is a little high, but correct for your tire size... but i think maybe a 1.5 drop would look good. if you want to go any lower you may want to roll the fenders.

coilovers isn't for those going to haul stuff. it's for good handling.

It's a legitimate question. Do they come with camber plates or don't they? Front and rear, just front, none at all?

I asked Skunk2 what the max negative camber that can be achieved on these coilovers are, and they told me max negative 2 degrees.

T1R can go up to negative 3 I believe.

I don't think they come with camber plates.

I got the Pro-C's put on recently and I find the spring rates to be too high.
They come with 8k frt/ 6k rear. I ordered 6k's for the front to try but I haven't had a chance to swap them yet. My strut/shock adjustments are on the softest setting. I find that the spring rates enable to get the car around any turns without the aid of the extra valving of the strut/shock. I would like the spring rates to be lower so I can utilize the valving but that isn't the case right now.
Just guessing, I would think a front spring rate of 5-6k and the rear of 4-5k to be the right combo for street. Skunk only has 6k for the front as the softest option and no others for the rear.

thanks for the info, radar. that's about wat i expected from those
spring rates and have not yet pulled the trigger on the pro-c's to try.

i would do 6K front 4K on the rear for spirited driving and let the
valving damp the car, not the springs.

in comparison, my EnduraTechs are 5K front 3K rear. very comfy.
