Default Skunk 2 Products?

I'm thinking about purchasing a few Skunk 2 Products for my Teg. I want to get some input from you guys as to what you think about them. 1st is Skunk 2 Lowering Springs (along with camber kit). How do they ride and are they dependable? 2nd is a Skunk 2 CatBack Exhaust. How does it sound (nice or ricy)? Thanks for your input.

Skunk2 Mega Power exhaust is a little raspy but I think its a good brand...Skunk2 Drag Springs are pretty reputable as well (on the track anyway)

If anything........one of the main things to look into would be their valvetrain upgrades they have available

i've heard that their cams like to "warp" when they get warm, putting excess stress on the crank and causing some minore bearing wear. also, i've heard their valves and cam gears aren't all they're chocked up to be.

their exhaust systems, suspension components, valve springs and whatever else are terriffic.

Their cams like to warp putting stress on the crank ?
How does a cam shaft put stress on a crank shaft ?

I think your smoking some fucked up shit...

Skunk2 products are fine.
I personally don't like they're exhaust b/c I had one of the skunk2 muffler canister baffles fall apart on me...

I personally run skunk2 cam gears, they work fine & they have a nice 6 bolt design etc..

Skunk2 cams, I have never heard anything bad about the current production of the skunk2 cams....

Valvesprings, nothing bad yet...

Retainers, not sure
Valves, heard they suck....

If you want top notch products, go with t1r, smsp, kteller, toda etc...

Btw, concerning suspension, save your money & buy some full strut coilovers such as tein basics or super sports...

For a camber kit, skunk2 is fine...

Skunk2 makes great products but I dont like how the exhaust sounds look into RSR ExMag Catback.

Bleh, I'd stay away from their springs, especially their coilovers and look towards offerings from Eibach or H&R. If you're really serious then I'd look at custom Eibach rates from GC and a set of Koni yellows (screw that overpriced JDM suspension bling).

Oh, and if you opt for the Skunk2 front camber kit, specify that you want the new design. The old design (what I currently run) requires a bit of modification to prevent slippage during heavy lapping days. The new one is tits.
