what shocks/struts to go with skunk2 springs?
id like them to be adjustable i cant really find anything for some reason .. guess im looking in the wrong places.. what is a good combo for the skunk2 springs?
|
im running the skunk springs and would like to know a good strut too. would the t1r work?
|
id like something more affordable
|
T1R would probably be good. Tokico is releasing their D-Specs next month I believe, those would work well too.
|
what other options are there
|
Not many. I'd wait for Tokico's
|
I read somewhere on the forum that tokico has one but theyre nothing but good oem replacements. like tofuman said you might want to wait for the D-specs, and T1R has some coming out soon. Or you could go with JDM ones but i beleive some modding has to be done to the struts to make them fit. I'm waiting for some good ones to come out as well:)
|
so a lot of people must be running aftermarket springs with oem shocks?
|
yep 99% of us
just go for coilovers if you're weary about stock struts with aftermarket springs... |
argh.. i'm scared to install my skunk2 springs with my oem shocks because of the saying "THESE SPRINGS BLOW YOUR STRUTS!" and i drive long distance evryday too.. i've seen a fit on my place lowered with S2s and it was bouncy on bumps..

is your car bouncy? what bout your shocks are they still ok? how long do do you have them so far?:) |
I run stock struts with tanabe GFs and it rides fine. I've heard that the Skunk springs are bouncy to begin with. Just be prepared to buy some shocks in the future.

amelsportfit, you stole my avatar :( heh I'm flattered though :P
Coilovers yall, straight up. Buying Vogtland springs and having a messed-up drop was kinda good in a way because now I'm not buying random stuff for my car, strictly saving for enduratechs. |
are the enduratechs any good? whats the best bang for your buck when it comes to coilovers. Like i mentioned earlier ive been looking at the D2s. You can get it for less than 850 and they look pretty good. My fit is only a DD so i dont need anything crazy, but dampening adjustment and height adjustment is always nice.:D
|
mine's DD also, but I don't want something that isn't adjustable, just in case I have to drive longlong distances and don't want to acquire 4535 rock chips in slammed mode. I've heard nothing but good things from Kenchan about his Enduratechs, search him out, he has a whole thread about his thoughts on them. They're $899 on endura-tech.com and I like them because they look basically OEM; the springs are black.
