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
 
yes i did he wants to re sell them...waste of time he will only get around 50$ in profit..!!

Fail how? Even if I only get a $50 dollar profit like you said, that's still $50 more than I had? Explain why that's FAIL? Nobody's bashing anyone here? Why...so.... SERIOUS?

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.

Haha. So you are saying I just need to market them to the right people. Ebay seems like just the right place to find these people you speak of lacking knowledge and intelligence :)
 
if your convinced that you can make a profit than buy them and see what you get. you made a poll asking what we would pay for them and most said $50 or less. why are you asking what we think of them that had nothing to do with this thread topic?
 
Go ahead if this many people saying "No" isn't getting to you. I bought a car got 5000$ in parts and made 800$ selling it , THATS a profit trying to resell used skunk2 coilovers with who knows how many miles for a quick 20$? Not worth the profit

Why are you all getting so butt hurt? The scope of a topic isn't just limited to the title of the thread. Thanks for clearing that up for me though. My question is, why are you posting at all if you aren't providing anything to the topic at all (See the quote above)? If you don't like the thread or don't have any positive input then just don't read or post here. Why don't you leave it to the moderators to decide when threads get off topic or in the wrong forum. If you don't like what's here then don't look. If you think it doesn't belong then report it to a moderator.

Sweet. Thanks for your 2 cents. Glad you made $800. Next time you can leave all the useless info out and just take the poll.
 
no ones getting butt hurt. your arrogance is getting in the way of what you asked. again you asked how much would we pay for used skunk 2 coilovers correct? we gave what you wanted to know. than you wanna know why we wouldnt pay for them and we told you that their junk. if you wanna get them than by all means buy them and turn them into a profit no ones stopping you

Who's being arrogant? Those are both valid questions?


Useless post gets useless answers

Must not be that useless....you read the thread and took the poll?
 
and we gave you valid answers skunk 2 coilover sleeves are junk because of the price and quality of the product

So where's the arrogance in that?
 
When I was living in CA, I went to the junkyard and found a full set of Skunk red coilovers on a civic, I bought it cause it was "SHUNK". And I had the same thought like you that I will make a profit off of it, so I bought it for 100 bucks. Here is the kicker, I didn't realize it was sooo bad that the guy just junked the civic without even bother taking them off.. sad.. :notgood: eventually I sold them 20bucks ea, to a cheap asian dude. :ohdamn: lost 20 bucks and time.
 
Oh.. and not all SHUNK products stinks, so dont bash on SHUNK, companies and manufactors has their UP's and Down's. Their racing IM is alrite.. :thumb: Haha hence the name, "SHUNK don't STINK"

The problem lies with you, you just don't get it. The coilovers are garbage, you can find that out from a simple search of the forums. Multiple people told you they are garbage, they would not spend any money on them and then you tried to find a reason why our outlook is wrong. Yet another person who did not want an answer but rather people to agree with them so they did'nt feel retarded if this blew up in their face.
 
They are complete shit just like the other spinoffs of the same style springs you can find on ebay. "Skunk2" is just an over glorified ebay brand IMHO. They are made of VERY CHEAP THIN metal (for the sleeves), the spring rates are not true/worse than stock, and if you stick those on your stock struts (if you are) they will be blown out damn near instantly. I bought a set of these just for shens last year, popped them on my car and it was like driving with 4 pogo sticks. Going around a turn at a decent speed damn near killed me because my car rolled into the turn instead of staying solid and going around the turn. Take it from a value buying person such as myself, you can't get good shit for cheap.

Did you even read this thread? Dude the only thing I feel retarded about is reading your posts and all the others like it. I never tried to reason anything and I'm not looking for anyone to agree with me. You already gave your input so why are you still posting? If I ask you why you wouldn't buy a set, then say why, or don't say why and move on? According to the poll results not everyone agrees with you and thinks they are junk. I get it that the majority do think they are junk and wouldn't even take a set for free. I appreciate your input but all the other posts containing your insults and opinions are useless to me, so save it.

I read it. Did you? 5 of the 6 who disagreed have been members for less than 6 months. 3 are still rocking baby blues. Now go ask them after reading this thread if they would like to buy a set off of you.

So because they are new they don't know anything? That's a stupid assumption. I've been a member since '05 so I guess that means something? Basically you are saying if you haven't been a member here for ages then it's likely you have no idea what you are talking about? I'd be willing to bet one on them has actually owned a set of Skunk2 coil overs, and actually knows what they are talking about. So, unless you have owned a set and have some personal experience to share, you are just talking out of your ass about all this anyways.

My real question however is why you are still following this thread. You already gave your opinion and much more? Honestly I could care less what you think outside of the question at hand, which you already gave me an answer to. It's you who doesn't get it. You already shared your opinion and voted in the poll. Move on.
