A little while ago there was that "Skunk2 hitman for hire" fiasco, when reading those threads I read about quite a few people who had Skunk2 engine parts which failed catastrophically... OP you can make your own choice, but the facts are out there. I don't think anyone is/was trying to be harsh.


Really wished you'd kept your build up here... been a fan of the Integra since I owned a few.. almost bought a certified used RSX-S right before I got my Fit (they were about the same price at the time), and been trying to buy my neighbors RSX for years, but she keeps her cars till the end. Looking forward to pics/vid, etc.

 

For the cost of plates, Yellows and GCs is almost the cost of coil-overs, except again no spring preload.

 

Yes, but the ability to adjust rebound only vs. the usual crappy rebound+compression adjustments (if you can call it that) on the cheap coilovers is worth more than preload adjustments (IMO).

You don't need to go low anyway right?

 

It's annoying for parts to fail, most manufactures stand behind their product. But you have to give them a chance to right the wrong. The people who didn't get help flew off the handle, right off the bat and never gave Skunk2 a chance to redeem themselves. To say it's junk because Google says so, isn't convincing enough. I've also have been dealing with Skunk2 since the mid 90s, so maybe I'm being too sentimental.

I don't think anyone was being harsh. Im excited about my new build and wanted to share. I am looking for feed back, but to make blanket statements from an I-Phone is silly. At first I thought "Loudbang" was back. lol.

I believe you mean this:
UPDATE - Skunk2 Racing

 

No, low isn't my concern, for example the WRX handles better at almost stock ride height. "Low" is just for looks.

I'm not talking about strut rebound/compression. Spring preload is what's important to me, the amount of force on the spring at rest.

You are right though, I do want to getting the car rolling. I'll sleep on it.

 

Well that's their apology... if you recall the way it started where they offered a reward for information (names & addresses) of people "exposing" what was already on their site, and the personal threats issued by people who work for them.... that's just bad business practice no matter how they spin it. They knew they fked up, cause this is the net, and had to back pedal real quick to issue that apology. Personally I don't care either way... have never bought Skunk2, and don't plan to... but I don't own an IPhone, let alone a smartphone.




Forget that, don't want to detract from the DC5 (love that car) :)
....looking forward to updates on your build.
As for suspension... have to agree with Wanderer. good choice.

 

Yeah, the whole thing was a mess and got very carried away.

? I wasn't directing that comment towards you, I was referring to the guy I blocked. Sorry if that came across wrong.

 

No, no... I had a feeling it wasn't in my direction... just blocking as a precaution.. lol... it's all good. lol.




In for a dedicated track day RSX build.

 

Why are you so concerned abour preload? If you're not running low you should have plenty of shock travel to work with?
