HyperTek · 04-15-2005, 06:58 PM

if skunk2 is a respectible brand in the honda community, then they might be pretty decent,.. but I dont know, i hear skunk2 alot, but i also hear APC alot as well...

hope you know some of those "jdm" products are made in the same place... these businesses are in it for money, so a product that suits their standards and is cheap to produce will be key to them

yeah skunk2 is unfortunatly well respected in the honda community...but every honda I know that runs them is bouncier then shit. Also, my friends '98 'lude only had dropped .5" one week after he installed them ...claim was at least 2" ...so he still had to chop them (retard).

Skunks are smelly, don't buy skunk2.

HyperTek · 04-17-2005, 02:44 PM

What was Skunk1?? was there every a part 1? or did they jump onto a sequal??

if Neuspeed made 240 stuff... i think they would be way better.

Projekt_Sil80 · 04-17-2005, 02:54 PM

I wouldn't buy them personally, if you want to lower your car save the money for some coilovers D2/K Sport makes pretty good coilovers for the money ($700+ Shipped) If not go with a good spring/strut combo (i.e. KYB AGX & Tein Springs)

sideview_180sx · 04-17-2005, 04:57 PM

Lowering springs on a 240 are crap anyways unless you go with already proven combinations. AGX or Koni shocks. GC coilover sleeves or eibach springs. Skunk2 makes very good products for Hondas. Generally its a hit or miss with companies that cross over into over car makes. Like Neuspeed, they are german-biased on there products, what gives them more praise that they could produce better quality parts then Skunk2 on nissans, neither focus serious efforts in the nissan area, just go with what is proven already. Like using mac struts, you can't get as low as JDM tyteness is percieved. just save up and get coilovers, real ones, not used HAs or not adjustables. Reasearch more and learn more, and coilovers will be much better then lowering springs, if you want stupid low get some sprint springs and cut them 1 coil and run 18s. Poser image fer shure......
