Skunk 2 or ?????

Post by Teaks92HB » December 21, 2007

OK, well I wasn't really sure where to post this. but, I'm looking to try and stick with one company which is hard I know but I was hoping to get some of your guys advice. I wanted to know what you guys thought of skunk 2 as far as company, quality, price, and if anyone else have used the products and what they think.. I guess I would like good quality products not necessarily from one company maybe..

I would like to do a nice suspension setup something that will slam the car but also give me a nice tight ride. I'm not super worried about the smoothness of the ride. right now I have a full energy suspensions bushing kit that I'm putting on integra a arms and I'll be rolling on 4 wheel disc's.

I would also like to know what would be goos as far as strut bars and the brace bars i see going across the rear's of the hatch backs. I have a 1992 and a 1995 Honda Civic CX. The 92 has strut and tie bars on which i upgraded the front with a sway bar from an ex and it rolls on 4 wheel discs as well. I have to shitty springs and stock struts. surprisingly it handles very well, but its not great by any means.

But I suck at typing and writing or asking questions and if anyone has some good advice and where to steer me I will appreciate it much!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

APC = mcdonalds

skunk2 = red robin

mugen = outback steakhouse

skunk2 suspension is decent for the price. you'll hear mixed opinions on their lowering coilovers, though. people whine about the ride quality in them but i guess that doesn't matter to you eh. my ex buddy had a crx with skunk suspension and it felt pretty good.

i'm a straight jdm whore, though.

just curious why you would want to stick with 1 company on the build of your car? just because of a theme? sounds stupid if you as me, might as well research different parts from different companies and get what you like, dont get it because that company makes it.

personally if you are going to get a nice suspension setup for cheap (compared to the high dollar buddyclubs and apex) you should seriously look into PIC Performance. i have only heard positive feedback on there complete suspension setups and they can be had for around 1000 for everything. they also make a cheaper version that dont have the adjustable struts and that runs even cheaper but seriously look into them.
