HOw much would you pay for used Skunk 2 Coilovers?

[GST with PSI]

I just want an idea of what some of you guys would be willing to pay for a set of used Skunk 2 coilovers. These would be for a 2G car.

Thanks

 

[Absit]

Absolutely nothing.

 

[hurricanecris24]

^what he said. Your car would ride like crap real bad, not worth the money.

 

[GST with PSI]

Absolutely nothing.

I hope that's not the general consensus. I have an opportunity to pick some up really cheap in hopes of selling them to make a little profit. I want an idea of what they are worth before I set myself up for a loss. Thanks for the input though guys.

 

[SpawnedX]

Nada. You would have to pay me to take them.

 

[RadDsm]

They'd be cool to use as legs for a coffee table, that's about it though.

 

[97talonjeep]

honestly about $80-$100 try to sell them for 2 or 3

 

[tazndrew04]

when you say real cheap that should be the red flag that you will not make a profit from them

 

[GST with PSI]

Is this a Honda hate thing, or do they really suck that bad?

 

[Absit]

Interesting, 3 guys with turbo cars said zero, one guy came in with an N/T and said sell them for 2 to 3, huh.

This question shouldn't even be dignified.

Well what if real cheap was actually close to free?

 

[Absit]

75% of replies so far say they wouldn't pay 0 dollars for them. If you need more convincing, you should buy them and try to resell them.

not dignified because they suck, or because they are made for Hondas? Or both?

Ha! At least I know what forum to put them up for sale in now.

Yes, Skunk made DSM springs for Hondas, just in case someone wanted to do that awesome DSM body swap on to their Civic.

It shouldn't be justified because you brought Hondas into this equation, not us. We said they suck, because they suck, not because we get red rage when the the though of a company that makes parts for us also makes parts for Honda. I guess that is why we hate Megan stuff.

. Dude I was totally looking into that DSM body swap too! I wanted to do it right though and convert my DSM to right hand drive after I did the body swap. Think Skunk makes parts for that too?

On a serious note though, I'm running Skunk 2 springs on my Infiniti G35. The ride sucks but the handling has greatly improved over stock with just springs. I didn't realize they made such a crappy product for DSMs. Maybe it's just the coilover setup and not so much the spring?

i had a crx wit skunk2 pro coils and struts and they road like $40 ebay springs so i guess they would suck on a dsm too

Probably. Skunk2 makes a lot of things for DSMs, coilovers, lowering springs, cam gears. All of it is junk besides the gears. Skunk2 is Blox's economy line.

Hahah no joke, i was about to type a response and a straight piped honda rolls by my house and gives a couple revs. The timing , sorry random i know, continue on...

Blox? Never even heard of them. Good to know though.

 

[94_TSi]

Just make up your own mind on them. If you honestly think you can get them and turn a profit on them go for it.

 

[STLskater92]

JUNK!!!!! I'll buy um for $20 though and sell um to my neighbor's kid for $100. I know I'm only 19, but he bought his 16 year old a civic and there is already a fartcan on the thing along with a drift wing and its only been about 8 days.
But honestly, the profit wouldn't even be worth the time and trouble of trying to find someone willing to buy those springs. Expecially in used condition.

 

[GST with PSI]

Well do you think this guy is going to get what he's asking?

95-99 Eclipse Skunk Coilover

 

[Absit]

Yes.
But that's not what you asked. You asked us, a group of sometimes relatively intelligent and knowledgeable people what WE'D pay for them.
