I have them and they are set almost all the way down and the ride is rough but not unbearable. i bottom out sometimes on hard bumps but its not too bad. if you want you car low you will have to sacrafice the ride comfort because it will go to shit.

yeah I have them, but I'm getting my tein springs today. I'm tired of messing with my ride height and getting alignments all the time...not to mention the ride is a little too stiff for me. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I got the ones that skunk2 stop making for the ep...I have 440 spring rate on all fours, while the new ones have like 3XX something in the rear and 440 in the front.

Yeah.... Skunk2. I have them too. All I have to say is, I should have saved for Tein. I'm planning on getting rid of mine soon since Skunk2 won't reply to my emails about this.

The ride on in my opinion is pretty good. A little stiff but I like it. I had them for almost a year now. about 6 months ago the coating in the rear springs had started to flake off. These pics were taken about 2 months ago. Notice the rust. I've emailed skunk2 many times and haven't recieved a response. I've lowered them on stock shocks and plan on replacing the whole setup with Tein SS or Basic in the spring of next year.
I'm a little disappointed in the quality of skunk2 but then again it seems like i'm the only one who has this problem.
