Which Coil overs are best?

[OLDSKOOLACURA]

Customer service is important to me.

I won't argue with you on that, I have skunk2, because it came on the donor car (also have a friend with a DA on the same and he loves them), when I decide to change I highly doubt I will go with skunk2 just because of that. They do make a good product though.

Yee, I will admit, they make a few good products - intake manifold and header, especially, from what I see. I just like that when people ask me about a product and I give negative feedback about that product, or the company, they will never see me running it. I may be a flapping douche, but I'm a man of my word. Same with Blox, until the step up their game and make a decent bushing, I'll never run a single part from them.

I would have to say I have the Ground Control with Koni kit, it is the best I have ever rode on. I use my teg for my daily driver and nothing beats it.

only reason im running on skunk2 pro-S v1 coilovers is..

my friend use to work for skunk2.. and he really wanted to buy my 81 civic wagon..

so he kept bugging me.. and offered me parts for my new db7..

so i got the pro S + top hats and cash on top for my wagon..

half a year after this he left the company and now he says bad things about them.. LOL.. great.. just great..

 

[Sammich]

how do you like teh coilovers themselves as a owner...i think they are talking mainly products..

they're good lowered at a 2 finger - 1 finger gap..

i'm tucking a little bit of tire now and they hit bump stops in the front.. so i wish they were stiffer.. or had adjustability..

they've also improved on the design as mine are the version 1's and you can't keep the spring pre-loaded to change height..

i don't have either of these but your best bet from what i've ridden in, and expirenced, would have to say Koni Yellow w/ GC or Buddy Club N+

they both give bang for you buck 800-1000 is what you'll end up spending on each, only thing i would look at is if your buddy club if they blow you have to wait over a month i believe they come from japan, not to sure on that, on the other hand Koni is located in the U.S. and they re-valve them, and would be alot faster if anything were to happen.

I am goin with the koni/gc in about two or three months

:twocents:

Buddy club is made in Japan but they have a distribution center/office whatever in the LA area. Koni is a good bet as long as you know what rate you want and understand you cant run stiffer than a 10k spring.

i cant see running a 'coil over struts' coilover setup, that's just me, i know everyone has their opinions as well.

but on another note, defending skunk 2's customer service, i never had issues out of them. when i called/emailed, i was helped. just the camber kit sucks balls. if i end up pulling off the camber kit this weekend i plan on dropping the car some more, so we'll see if the ride is still the same or suffers detrimentially from riding lower

Why does the camber kit suck?

That's not the first time I've heard bad things about the skunk camber kits....
And OG, stepping up the bushing game still wouldn't convince me to give Blox a fuckin penny of mine. Lol.
