Skunk pro-s or Eibach sportlines?

[Socali914]

ok from the title sounds like a stupid question. go with skunks for 700 installed or get eibach for 300 installed and wait for koni shocks to come out. looking for best bang for your buck and ride quality since i drive a lot but also i do not want to bottom out. thanks havent lowered a car forever so any input or suggestions appreciated. trying to stay on a budget but my friend said in a year i may need to replace the stock shocks but the skunks should last like 4-5 years fine. thanks in advance.

If you're planning on getting the eibach sports lines our shocks will last a long time depending on how you drive. For DD your shocks could last 2-3 years if you don't abuse it.

The sportlines are around $220. I vote for the sportlines and wait for koni. The koni should be coming out soon. I hope.

I thought there is only a redshift/koni coming soon?

I am also confused in the KONI thing. Will KONI on itselft make a height adjustable damper/shock?

No your gona have to get ground control sleeves for that

[CivicSi907]

what are ground control sleeves?

Sorry I am german!

[CivicSi907]

Is it that:



So I will buy the KONI Yellows, and the Springs with sleeves from ground control and call it a height adjustable day

Yup! edit so you can ask for your own spring rate which most suspension gurus will tell ya to go with the linear ones instead of progressive ones like the eibach pro kits or sportlines if your serious about handling thou!

[CivicSi907]

I dont understand that with the liniear or progressiv springs rates, also dont know what spring rate is! Can you xplain?

[K20Redline]

Suspensions!!! check it out great read and it has all that stuff in there way better then I can explain but if you have any specif questions you can always ask!

[Socali914]

how much is the koni yellows expect to cost ? i heard 1k if so i think im leaning toward the skunks full setup.

Federnraten sind die Kraft, die es nimmt, die Feder zusammenzudrücken. Eine lineare Feder hat eine feste Rate. Eine fortschrittliche Feder macht, es wird contiune nicht, in zu erheben, schätzt ein, als es zusammengedrückt ist. Nicht so gut für Konkurrenz. Federnraten sind eh, sein das Rad einschätzt das ist die wichtigen Informationen, zu wissen. Die Radrate wird immer weniger als die Federrate, das ist das Bewegungsverhältnis von der Aufhängung sein, stellt es als ein Hebel dar. Die Radrate ist die Federrate an den Reifen kontaktiert Fleck. Der Sorgen was Ihre Radrate ist, gut dass der beste Weg ist, Ihre Rollenpaarausteilung zu lösen. Rolle Paar ist das Gleichgewicht von Rolle Widerstand an der Front vom Auto Gegen die Hinterseite vom Auto und beeinflusst direkt den oversteer/understeer Gleichgewicht von den Autos Rollt Paar. Rollenpaar ist mit Feder und Antirollestäbenraten eingestellt. Alle, dass wirklich ist, ist der Unterschied in Steifheit (Rolle resistacne) vorder, zu unterstützen. Das steifere Ende von einem Fahrzeug wird Zugkraft zuerst verlieren. Deshalb wenn die vordere Aufhängung eines Autos steifer dass die Hinterseite ist, wird die Rollenpaarausteilung understeer herstellen, weil die Front mehr Gewichtübertragung behandelt. Chancen sind Ihr Auto schwer ist beeinflusst zur Front. Dies ist warum das Auto understeers in den meisten Lagen.

I dont know how well that translator worked but Ill just assume you know what a spring rate is like 12k and stuff right so no matter how much you compress the spring that wont change with a linear spring but with a progressive one you apply pressure it changes so there is no one unit of measurement for it so its pretty inconsistent and in handling you want consistence. I dont know that helped haha!

[CivicSi907]

hmmm not smarter even now but thanks for trying to help me idiot!

I think I'll go with an coilover setup, like skunk2's, bc'c or megan racing.

Alot of people area already going that route. There's even people who's got coilovers and will switch when koni yellows come out.

But if you're gonna get coilovers now I personally would go buddy clubs.

[CivicSi907]

why buddy club and not skunk2 ?

Does the buddy club fit 100%?

And what about the optional urethane isolated aluminum upper mount design on the Buddyclubs? Where can I choose it, that I want it? Not available to choose at CorSports.

[Socali914]

hows the ride on the pro-s anyone know cause i drive a lot and i figure i should pony up the extra 400 bucks for the full setup for form and function rather than 300 for just springs for just looks.

[Socali914]

im just waiting on another guy that is going ot write a review but i think if it turns out ok im going to go with the skunk mainly cause i like the fact that you can adjust the height hope the ride isnt that bad if you only lower it 1-1.5 or so. How do the skunks fare against the Tein basic anyone ?

It depends if your talking Pro-Cs orPro-S but in my opinion both are better then the basics they aren't just made to lower the car where as skunk2 actually spent time to make it handle better well for the Pro-cs Id say the pro s and basics are same category but handle different.
