you gotta think. your car is in transition 90% of the time on the road. that is using your suspension and tires. dont cheap out on either one of those

ya the skunk2's are good coilovers, also the D2's are cool

08fithappy 12-11-2008 07:35 PM

Lets see really there are some that are better than others but depends on what u want out of them good track coils or just DD. But really i would have to say on this I want the skunks but at $1400 for a something that is my DD i might go with the D2 for the price but than again i am saving right now for ethier a EVO or S2000 as my weekend track car so no need for that on my fit i just want them to fix that gap i have

whtsjdm 12-22-2008 08:46 AM

The skunk2's go lower than any of the other coilovers I believe. I have the t1r's and love them. I used alot of other coilovers, and wouldn't use anything else now.

Pretty sure Im the lowest Fit on this forum. CO's definitely and I may cross the line and say bagged Fits also.
At least driven daily lowest Fit on bags and CO's.

Yes I do scrape road/reflectors depending on the roads.
Some areas on the highway my sub frame hits the road. A major road in my area (Colonial/SR50) is under construction. Theres a lot of lane changes and new road drop offs to old road. Its hell!

I just suck it up and drive them.

Kyle is raaddd 12-23-2008 10:41 PM

yes i believe that ray takes the cake.

but tyler is still really low as well

whtsjdm 12-24-2008 03:10 AM

sorry, but I'm tied with tyler :) Ray can vouch!

junior40er 12-25-2008 07:07 AM

being that low defeats the purpose of coilovers. seems like some of ya are just hardparking. Or do any of you actually hit the roads and take your suspension to the limits/test. I may not be as low but I definetly have spent time getting my handling dialed in.

I can't speak for anyone but I myself love to have my car low. Unfortunatly I don't have mines set at its lowest because jacking up the car periodically to adjust for a weekend run seems a pain in the ass. I have the height as low as it'll go without sacrificing performance for looks and adjust my dampening since its easier.

But OMG Tyler and Ray, I love your guys set up. It definelty looks badass and gice props. I have always looked up at your guys cars and respect on how you guys modded out your rides. REPPED.
