Just Ordered My Suspension!

[Capone]

I just ordered Skunk2 coilovers and tokico illumina's for my eclipse.we going to install them on saturday

I decided to go with coilovers because i wanted to be able to raise and lower my car. Who knows what ill be doing to my car in the next few months to next year. If i get a body kit i wont have to worry about hight and stuff.

Anyone else with this setup? can i get your comments on ride?

congrats on the purchase.. i love coilovers.. nice to be able to go low and high if u need to

Let us know how those coilovers work for you... I haven't heard too many great reviews on the Skunk2s - hopefully you'll have good luck with em.

 

[Capone]

only bad things i have heard about skunk2's are from improper installation and that they are to soft. I hope the illuminas will balance that out.

I love my GC's I planned on a bodykit, so coilovers were a must.

Have fun installing them hehe. It's fun

I always heard that coil overs are a PINTA, because when you adjust the height you will never be perfectly even all the way around. Any remarks to that from anyone that has coil overs?

I have GC coilovers, easy install, no problems getting height even. The install took about 3 hours using air tools.

i didnt have any problems adjusting the height so there all the same.. I just count the coils on the sleeve and match it up

You didn't use the air tools when taking the spring off the shock did you? Mine took about 5 hours for the GC's and AGX's, only because it was my first time

you guys are slow.. took me about 2 hours to do the shocks/coilovers the 1st time, then about 90 mins the second time, and last time when I finally did it right it took a little over an hour

 

[TaLoNBLiNGBLiNG]

Haha, I didn't want to break anything, so I took my time. Plus, taking a smoke break after each completed coilover/shock setup doesn't help

 

[larryd]

true.. smoking would slow u down ..

It's a good thing I wasn't drinking It would've taken me all damn day haha.

BTW: drinking is bad. I don't have a license because of it
