Im looking for a nice smooth, good ride quality shock for my civic sedan. I Already have nuespeed race springs. I was looking at the new skunk2 shocks. They are pretty inexpensive. But i think they are rather new. Has anybody used these before? I am looking for a nice ride more than performace. Or do you have an suggestions for a good cost effective shock? These are the shocks i was looking at Robear Racing. SKUNK2 SPORT SHOCKS: CIVIC 96-00 (SET OF 4)

 

i rock skunk2's, but the all red ones. i forget which ones, since its been 2 years.


ive never heard of any complaints with them..

 

Are they pretty smooth?

 

its obviously not going to be as smooth as stock, but its definitly not harsh or ridgid as some shock/spring combo's are.

 

what do you thinks the best way to lower a car heat the springs, by new springs, or coilovers

 

 

never heat the springs. slip on coilovers tend to be bouncy. the best way would be with a full coilover setup. struts and spring. preferibly adjustable. i cant afford a full coilover so i use tokico white struts and skunk2 drop springs.

no heating.

obviously, the (typically) more expensive option, coilovers, will perform the best and give the best ride...

but if u are on a tight budget, some lowering springs and decent shocks (ive had KYB AGX's for 6 years, no probs) will do the job just fine.

however, you may want to check ebay, as i saw some omnipower combo sets, with camber and LCA's for a pretty reasonable price.

 

Those S2's look similar to KYB gr2's in color with the pretty Skunk2 sticker. That was my first thoughts when I sall them.
