i have the g.c with tokico's......... i love them no problems at all!
i heard skunk's are s***.......do a quick search on here it's been talked about a few times before. if you have the money get the jic's coilover's their the s***!!!!! AROUND $1600 though. peace

I've got the Skunk2's. The ride height is awesome!! Love them other than the fact I need to replace the top strut bearing every 3-4 months. Skunk2's are WAY hard for in town driving but the car is a blast to drive at interstate plus speeds.

Thanks to whoever responded. I decided to just go with Skunk2. I talked to my friend, who is a professional mechanic. He has tried both, and he recommended Skunk2. Hm...anyone care to share a place to purchase these online. I'm just wondering who has the best price. I went to Skunk2's site, and their MSRP is at $370.00 or something like that. I have seen on other site where it goes for $336.00 or even $317.00. Anyone have any ideas. Much help appreciated. Thanks.

there are sets of skunk2 coilovers on ebay brand newfor 240 plus shipping all the time for 01-03 2.0 pro's

I would recommend there for price, i have heard tuningdepot.com has good prices and you can always get them through a vendow here for a good deal. Let us know how you liek em, I have been thinkin of upgrading from eibach springs only to full coil overs and need to decide between GC and skunk2 also, nothing immediate though.

Of course like mentioned above I would LOVE JIC, but my wallet isnt that big.

I think I got mine from Mantaray Motorsports. MMRUSA. THey have the best price @ the time that I got mine.

I couldn't wait! Haha. I just decided to order from Nopi. Should be coming in in a few days. I'll let you all know how the ride is once i get them installed. Later.

P54DRIDE, i just put my skunk2s on a few weeks ago, love them, other than the poping when turn hard in a parking lot, i head its what coilovers do, anyway i bought mine of e-bay, guy sell alot of them and i go them for $240 shipped to me.!!! ill see if i can find them again and post a link.. i thought that price kick ass, most wanted 350-400

They both suck but I would go with the GC's if you have to choose one. The ride quality was great on these when I had them. They do make some clucking noise in the front though because the upper spring retainer gets worn out since it is aluminum

skunk2 coilover sucks major arse

GC coilover(or should i say adjustable spring?) is way better than skunk2
alot of guys in H-T.com runs GC(with custom spring rate) and Koni yellow shocks at autocross, some track ***** also perfer gc/yellow over basic tein coilover.


tokico blue pretty much the low end kinda of shock(better than shock but it's not super doper good), again i dont konw kyb have any application for you guy(as well as koni)

hp blue<agx<illumina<koni yellow
