skunk2 sleeves

[martin00gt]

i know that these can drop the car as much as 2.25" in the fron and 2.5" in the back but i would want to raise my car back up in the winter. i know that these are adjustable but what is the lowest drop that they give when theyre heightened all the way?

[Pool Playen Bob]

i would like to say only about 1/2" drop. maybe i guess i've never raised them up all the way yet. i would say if you had them adjusted all the way up it would be damn close to stock.

[martin00gt]

does anyone else know for sure?

[pslcelica]

how do you like these coilovers? I want these or tein s springs. not sure yet

[Pool Playen Bob]

there not coil overs. there just sleeves. put the mover your stock perch welds. you have to cut a little bit off your shocks to get them to fit. but in the end i love them. give me the drop i need handles better. and i like the idea of swapping out shocks if i need to.

i had em for 3yrs liked em real stiff but the rears are a little bouncy. however i did have one of the springs snap on me no racing just normal driving didnt affect handeling much just made a crap load of noise. im going to a full coilover now its a good kit to get started with tho. just be prepared for a time consuming install

Yeahh a lot of people have the Skunk2 springs snap on them.

[edg3h_91]

Why do the snap? is it because they were running stock shocks?

What shocks can withstand the low drop of the sleeves? gr2? agx?

[Kangaruu]

Dunno but my guess is that the springs snap due to manufacturing flaw.

I don't think GR2s can handle the drop; they'd probably blow in a few months. I'm on AGX right now and it's good. Haven't been this low for that long yet so I can't say how long the AGX will last at this drop.

you guys have to do some reserch, the skunk2 sleeves spring rates come stock in 8kg front and 6kg rear, our shocks dont hold that much lbs/in or kg/mm.

kyb agxs max kg/lb rate is 9 kg for front and rear. thats as stiff as you'll go befor you start blowing/leaking struts.

koni yellow take the most for any adjustable strut kit, their max kg/lbs is 11kg or 600 lbs. there for if you want to lower your car that low and have stiffer springs to not bounce as much get koni yellows or coilovers

[euromotorsports]

where did you find the "max specs" for the shocks????

[deercelica]

I'm on sportlines & stock struts. No leaks, no bounces, no noises.

I put the springs on the stockers assuming i'd have to buy KYB's in a couple months.. that time hasn't come yet. haha

Anyone with pics of the sleeves installed and lowered all the way??

[dmin]

thats exactly where mine broke in that pic above.
