***Dizzle0420*** · 03-14-2008, 03:52 AM

Am I able to do that??

Yes its possible but why would you? HFP shocks are valved specifically for the HFP springs. If you want a big drop get the skunk2 springs and wait for good shocks to come out, or just throw them on your stock struts. You'd just have to drive like a grandma over speed bumps and avoid potholes at all costs.

it will fit tho right....I herd the skunk 2 ride is very smooth and I want a more aggressive drop and the hfp without lowering springs isnt doing it for me so I just want to know if it will work

It will fit but theres no purpose. you'll get the drop, but the shocks arent valved for the skunk springs so it would defeat the purpose. just get the skunk2 springs, put them on stock shocks, and wait for shocks made for lowering springs to come out. it'll be a better investment in the end

i ran sportlines with tokico's, and it felt great. low speed, high speed damping on the money but thats just my opinion.

Why spend 600 on the HFP just to turn around and spend another 250 on springs? 850 should get you into Redshift Motorsports Sport Koni package.

Also, 2 inches is to low to maintain good front suspension geometry.

So, if you get the skunk2 springs, you are just admitting that you are superficail because there will be no handling increase. You aren't superficial, are you?
