Skunk2 Spring question

I know there is probley a answer to this someplace but as much as I looked around I didnt see it.

I was looking into putting Skunk2 lowering springs on my stock shocks, is this something you dont suggest doing? I dont want a crappy ride.

I have been thinking about this as well, and I have asked people at local meets and out of the 4 people who had the skunk2 springs none changed the shocks and only 1 had a camber kit.

Sooner or later there going to blow that’s inevitable, but one guy (ryry) has put like 30K on them with the skunk2 springs and hasn’t run into a problem yet...not saying you won't just giving an example

I'd say if you’re going to buy new shocks with the springs you might as well save up a little more and get high quality coilovers....But one thing is for sure the drop looks good!!


ps I was also looking at the sportlines becasue people said the skunk2's squeek....just something to think about

I've got 20,xxx miles with Skunk springs, on stock shocks with the rear camber kits with no problems at all.
