I took my Eibach sportlines off yesterday and put a set of Skunk2 coilovers on. I was happy with the ride of the sportlines but the drop was horrible. Looked uneven to me.. anyone else have the same problem? I was afraid of how the coilovers would ride but so far on stock shocks im impressed. I'm just riding stockies for a few weeks then im gonna look into shocks and a camber kit. I slammed the car for fun yesterday and i think i'm gonna keep it that height because im not having any rubbing and some how i'm making it over speed bumps fine.. but other then that I LOVE the look of it. Props to ShowerstoppersUSA they were real helpful, good price and quick shipping.

damn, that's nice. Did you get the ones made for the si, or was it the ones for the coupe...I hear you have to modify them to fit. I asked showstoppers about whether or not he had the ones for the si instead of the ones for the coupe...no luck for me

Thanks Paxie, 02Si.. the box says 02+ Si and there was no modifications needed. I noticed very little difference in the ride but much better then expected. Heres a close picture, no wheel gap..

Looking nice, I want to do the same, but I wouldn't. :'( After having my del sol lowered so low like your EP with no wheel gap, oh my..... my best friend wasn't that beauitful super model, but the body of my car, BAM BAM BAM. :'( I wish the area I live in have better roads and less hills.

overall it's a good mod, but when you got some gunk between the wheel and body it's gonna be hard to clean. hosing it down won't work. I had to jack my car up just to wash the inside.

Tons better! The 18's needed that slam. I'd raise the back a bit for looks and practicality. Camber kit asap! I may get some coilovers too once shocks some out...

Not my cup of tea. Looks ricey. I like how it looked with the Eibachs.

How is that ricey? I think LED HOOD pissers are ricey, but its ur opinon and i respect!

ok..moving on, that is a sweet drop and from skunk2 also..I had a question about Skunk2, are they japanese company or american?

Imagine Skunk2 suspension work and Skunk2 internal work....cams?

i think that skunk2 is american, thanks for the comments. i've seen your car around.. i think on rock island and mcnab awhile back? looks tight! as far as noises iced.. there were some noises when you turn the wheel which i've heard from several people has happen to them. but the suggestions i got to use suspension grease worked great! i love the coilovers i'd recommend them to anyone.

the drop looks nice, it's the same drop I have on mine with GC's. My doesn't rub, but what does it mean to "roll fenders"?
