are skunk2 coilovers good?

[SoCalRyder7]

saw em on protegegarage best deal i seen in my life. Anyone have experience with em?

 

[KrayzieFox]

For street use? Horrible.. stay away. Those aren't really coilovers anyway, they're just "adjustable springs". Actual coilovers consist of the strut and the spring as one, designed to work with each other. You put those Skunk2's on the MSP struts, and you'll be in the market for new struts within 10K miles.

Also, this is kinda the wrong section for that kinda question. This section is for performance/turbo questions. Post suspension questions in the suspension section please.

I have them on my MSP now. VERY harsh.

 

[Outlawstar98]

I stay away from skunk2.......

 

[SwirlFX]

The short answer is.............No.

+1 on the No!

Invest into some real coilovers.

I even had the Skunk 2 Pro S Series(Full Coilover) on my Civic, and they rode like s***.

Do your homework on the suspension page.

Am I the only one who really likes the way the stock setup feels? I don't want to mess with what Mazda and Racing Beat engineers designed. In past cars, I've found that messing with a suspension that is already performance-oriented from the factory usually just makes it worse.
