Thoughts on Skunk2?

So I'm desperately looking for coilovers..
and came across this
http://www.skunk2.com/mm5/merchant.m...de=517-06-1860

it's 301.xx USD
seems too good to be true... experience thoughts? or am i just looking at the wrong thing in general?

Thanks

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much IMO since those are only cheap coilover springs and not the whole set up . I would say if you dont feel like paying 800+ for some coilovers get a decent lowering spring .

Its just the spring because if you look at the "How to install" it shows just the spring on an Oem shock .

Its a sleeve, if you get them and lower more than like 2in. you can kiss your struts goodbye. Honda guys love them (but 3/4 of them dont realize their shocks are blown). Lowering springs will lower your car safely for the lowered look. Real full coilover dampening systems will give you even more lowering ability and awesome performance. Stay away from sleeves.

Save for a full set of coil overs. Trust me, I've been there, done that. They lower the car nicely but the ride will be pretty crappy.
