I have the Skunk2 Pro-S coilovers and haven't had issues with the install or the ride quality.

deuce0880 · 03-27-2008, 10:17 PM

was it a hard install???

deuce0880 · 03-27-2008, 10:28 PM

another thing is i don't want any rubbing either so...yeah

do it yourself.. put on my skunk2 springs and camber arms in about 1.5 hours...i asked a performance shop how much to install the springs.. they wanted 175 and i did it myself with help from mike in around 1.5 hours.. saved me 175 smackers that im buying a fujita intake with the savings...

deuce0880 · 03-28-2008, 10:37 PM

i just bought the skunk2 pro-s coilovers. i wanna know how hard of an install that it. keep in mind i don't have hardly any suspension experience in my life.

three bolts hold the upper part on the strut.. unbolt the brake line braket and there are 2 more blots that hold the lower strut to the knucke.. i believe it was a 19 and a 17... pull the strut out and put the coilover's in.. they should come put together already.. go onto suspension and brakes and find a diy with illistrations... thats what i did.. telling you it's easier then you think...

deuce0880 · 03-28-2008, 10:48 PM

sweet! i was looking at that DIY but he was doing something about the upper pillowball mount or something and he lost me!

johnbud · 03-28-2008, 10:58 PM

they're a couple of diy's.. i saw one with step my step pics of it being done on a si... made alot of sense and was able to get the general idea and it was easy... mike and me..1-1.5 hours total...
