Skunk2 pro C coilovers.

[JamesSSB]

Hi all,
I have a set off these coming from the states and Tom at TGM is fitting them next week.

I hope these are as good as I am thinking they will be, I had a set on my EK9 and were really nicely made and reliable.

I will update my feelings once installed. I have also tried to look for reviews but these are that new that I am struggling.

Anyone have these or know of anyone who has a set.

James.

looks great, good build. it said i had a shortened body and stroke, is this what you really want??

 

[JamesSSB]

Hi mate, Well once it's lowered its not moving the full travel that the oem suspension would right, so yes.

 

[donkeykong]

i'm also on the lookout for new coilovers, only thing that bothers me is that i hate to hit a bumpstop

 

[JamesSSB]

I will let you know how I get on.

[Vindots]

wow this would be interesting to see!! make a write up, incl the steering rod angle, how it sits,, etc..

I am getting TGM to fit them next week so I won't be doing it myself. But I will get the low down on Toms view of them.
Will let you know.

So I have now been driving with these for about 1 week now and they are bedding in nicely.
The road handling is amazing set up with the FRS by Tom at TGM but they are hard.
They have a 12 way dampening setting which I have the rears on 1 and fronts on 5 and it is just about liveable. They do come with 12kg front and rear sprigs which I may consider changing for a lower value.

They are very well built, they come with new tracked ends which are from an EP3 civic to convert them for use with the DC5 which is great. I have no traming issues or bump steer problems, they don't seem to have any issue that I have found yet.

Pictures as promised.

For anymore inquiry's call Tom at TGM as he can get these from the states within a 7 to 10 days from ordering.

James.

Spring rates are crazy for road use - frequencies (Hz) are way off the scale. Have a look at what other kits use - think that tein start at 6/9.

looking good! i love my skunk2 stuff. would of thought tom would of fitted inverted tie rod ends to take stress away from the steering rack, or was it not necessary?

 

[JamesSSB]

No was not necessary. The arms are near straight. If the tyre was tucked into arches more then maybe.
I love them.
