Model Reviewed: 95 civic hatch

Strength:

stiff springs that make you handle real well, great adjustability and dual perches (fell safer then the GC''s)

Weakness:

bouncy (i dont really car tho, cuz i bought them for performance)

i got a hook up at my local tuning shop cuz my car was stolen. i had to chose between these or GC''s. my friend has a hatch similar to mine with GC''s and koni struts, i put the tokico 5 way adjustables on mine... his is WAY WAY softer, and less bouncy. Mine rides like a performance car should. it makes my car handle like its on rails. if u wanna buy coilovers, your probably looking for performance, and these give it to you.

Strength:

Looks superb, 2 perches, nice and stiff, great handling, great launches, racecar ride, great investment.

Weakness:

If you are a pansy and dont like the ride of a race car then these arent for you. These are for the true performance enthusists who want to corner like they are in the LeMans or want to launch like they are professional NIRA racers.

Great set of coilovers. I had the GC ones before and those are trash. Too soft and the perch looked unsafe. I have my Skunk2''''s with KYB AGX and this is a great combo. I have the shocks on 4 in the back and 3 in the front. This combination makes me take any corner twice if not more than the posted speed limit. Great handling. And for drag racing it gets no better than this. This combo has eliminated the "squat" when launching your car with high horsepower. Great performance from these springs.

Strength:

It you want your car lowered, but don't care about how nasty it rides, this is for you.

Weakness:

The rides sucks, and if the road is rough and your taking a turn, it is really easy to lose control of your car. You have to be extremely careful when driving with these.

Skunk Works coilover gives a very rough and bouncy ride. If you have thick tires in the front and rear of your car, you will be bouncing all over the place. I have KYB AGX Adjustable struts with the Skunk Works, but the ride is very rough, and your car will start to knock on simple bumps. I checked my struts 'cause I taught it was blown, but it was still good.If you want coilover, save your money and get something good, like what I did, I got Apex -1 Coilovers. Or you can get Progress or B-G which are really good.

Strength:

It gives your car a really low look if thats what you are goin for buy these coilovers but if you are not lookin for a bouncy ride then these are not the thing for you

Weakness:

Its a really bad ride your car wil bounce a lot on stock shocks

These are a good pair of coilovers for a show car or a car that does not do much drivin I would go with something else. Save your money.

Strength:

slams your car. makes your car look crazy when parked only. adjustable to fit different rims.

Weakness:

The worst ride I've ever had. I think I've developed some back problems. I had it on my car for a few days and I think it just destroyed my stock struts. Makes my car look cheap, like I f$ckn' cut my stock springs or something cuz the car bounces ALOT.

I hated it from day one. I got a pretty good deal on it from someone I know who works at a shop so I didn't do any research on it. And I thought Skunk2 was a good namebrand, that's a big mistake. They make a good visible product, but when it counts, which is when your driving, the product is just not worth it. DON'T BUY IT.

Similar Products Used:

Get eibach sportline or decent namebrand springs with adjustable tokicos or konis. A little bit more $$, but definitely worth it.
