great.....do a little dragging when going into steep changes/high speed bumps......have to be careful with curbs and stuff on the front end!

and watch out for stuff hanging out in the middle of the road......

I just installed Skunk2's installed and they are great no rubbing and I have less than a finger between the tire and fender. also no sounds either quiet as can be....

 

[MikeAwesome42]

the skunk2's seem like a steal at the prices that ive seen them at, i think that is the most tempting part

so is the skunk2 kit a complete coilover setup, or do you have to get other components

It is a coil sleeve setup. You get 4 threaded aluminum perches, 4 springs, for tops, 2 wrenches for adjusting height and a bag o-rings. This is all you need to adjust your ride hieght between stock and 3-4 inches. They use your current struts. I do suggest you buy a set of tokico blues or HP struts or the Tokico whites Illuminas 4 way adjustable struts...

so to answer your questions they area complete lowering kit except for struts, but agian you use your current struts...
