Skunk 2 Coilovers.....
Are Skunk 2 Coilovers good for a 97 and up civic hatchback? How much do they usually go for and are they easy to install? What has your opinion been with them if you've had them.
Or if you not have had those what do you prefer? I want to have at least a two inch drop, I don't want such a big wheel gap.

Still here... sorta...
I have them on my '95, my buddies have them on their '99 civic ex and '01 GSR.
They're nice! I like them a lot. I love being able to change the height whenever I want.
PM me and I'll hook you up with some pricing.

Have them on my 99 HB for about 3 weeks now. They go with my Koni Reds. My ride height is adjusted to about tight-2-finger fender gap all around. The ride's been great so far. Not too choppy or harsh. Handling's great and tight. The only thing I don't like is that it's a bit more bouncier than my old Pro-Kit when going over large humps. However I think it's gotten a bit better now due to either the springs have settled in or my butt got used to it. I heard it'll be even less bouncier after several more weeks and hundreds of miles. Hopefully that's the case. Heard that Ground Control is another good choice but never rode in one before so can't comment. I'll give my Skunk2+Koni Reds a 9 out of 10. Good luck!

If I do get these coilovers do you think I should get a chamber kit as well to fix the drop problem, I can't remember what it's exactly called... I want the ride to be dropped the right way and not have problems with my tires. I don't want to have to go through tires every week or on a monthly bases...

Here's how my car sits on skunk2s and koni yellows: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...threadid=38751
that's almost as tall as they go. I had 5 adults in my car and it rode like a dream :thumbup:
Hit me back.
