tein vs. skunk 2 lowering springs

[orokusaki]

sup guys. . .i just recently got a 06 si and was wondering what springs i should get. i was thinking either tein s-techs or skunk 2 lowering springs. the stechs are like a 1.5 drop and the skunk 2's are 2-2.25 drop what do you guy think would be best?

I like my Eibach Sportlines..

im the only one with the skunk2 springs as they aren't out yet. If i were you i would wait for the skunk2 springs to come out. the drop is great and the ride even better.

I'll post a pic tomorrow showing the drop.

yessir, they got the prototype in last week so i'll be getting them on when im not busy. probably some time next week. I'm doing the R&D for the coilovers so when I give the final ok they will go into production.

the first prototype i had on my car made it handle like a dream. I love that shit so bad...cant wait till next week :)

ahhhh.. interesting. Let me know how the compare w/ the Tein Flex Coilover kit because those and the Skunk2 are what I really have my eyes set on. I'm leaning more towards the Tein's because of the EDFC since I want to start tracking the beginning of this summer. But let me know pare

I have not done anything to the alignment yet nor have I done anything about the camber. The car is almost a year old now, but still only has about 3000 miles on it, so I'm not in any rush. Plus, I have crappy all season tires that I really don't care much for. But, the ride on the Eibach's is very good, as is the drop. I am considering Progress coil-overs in the future. They are supposed to be released around March, then I will get something done about the alignment and camber. If you just go with the springs, the Sportline's anyway, all you really need to have done is an alignment as I have noticed a slight feathering on the front tires. I don't think the drop on the rear is enough to really worry about installing camber adjusters - IMO.

Thanks -

[Jester FPS]

[pogi666ako]
