TLontheDL Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I didn't even know skunk2 made springs LOL i'm so out of the racing scene. I do know that skunk2 coilovers ride like poop. Eibachs ride just like stock. The bad thing about eibachs is if you get the prokit, your rear will look lower than your fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 But he's talking about these Eibachs and these skunk2's I don't think you're going to find a lot of information here about drag launch springs.Those are specifically for track use, whereas most people here daily drive their vehicles. It's going to be especially hard to get someone who has experience with both to give you a comparison. I do, however, have experience with the Eibach pro kit and Eibach pro street-s coilovers.

CleanGSR Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 There's a guy around here that had a 5th gen hatch with 403whp (D series) and he got the Skunk 2 Drag Springs. He said that really helped his launching but basically rode like a covered wagon when he drove it on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 ^^^ exactly, dont get the skunks unless you plan on using your car for track use mostly, because youll hate it after about a week i keep saying it but look into dropzone springs and tokico gas shocks, great ride and nice stance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 If you're wanting a drag setup you need to go with a coilover setup. Period. Stiffen the mess out of them during track visits and soften the shocks up for daily driving purposes. The springs will retain stiffness, but will REALLY work together with adjustable shocks.

xxscaxx Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 ^ i was thinking the same thing. get a nice set of coilovers with a dampening system. i didnt have aftermarket struts on my car but the difference in my stock struts/springs to the coilovers was a night and day difference with handling, and especially body roll.
