Some Combanationz on Suspension parts...
#1
on my 01 Type R, i got Koni Shocks and Skunk2 Coilovers, and damn they ride really rough... it has like no foreplay what so ever which scares me somtimez because wen i launch off n hit a lil ditch types, my car like literally jumps. Im thinkn bout keeping the Koni Shocks and go to Ground Design or Skunk 2 lowering springs. Any other recommendations?? maybe my shocks are adjusted to tight but still, Da skunk2 is really rough. i jump off every lil bump i hit. not a smooth ride at all...

We need more info before we can suggest a good course of action for you.

my spring ratez?? i dunno wat you mean by my spring rates, i got a Skunk2 Coilovers with a Koni shocks. i dropped it 2 1/2 inches. but yea, i think u know what i mean by da harsh driving. Should i change to just regular lowering springs and sell my coilovers? or what? and if you need more information, what kind of information do you need?

beleive the skunk2 street coilover kit is 500/500 but I could be wrong... Spring rating is what the particular spring coil was headed too... the larger the spring rating the stiffer the spring. You sure you don't have the Skunk2 Drag Launch kit? What koni struts do you have? I personally have the Ground Control Coilover kit (custom spring rates are available with GC's btw) with Koni Yellow struts. Car rights stiff/firm (I have my settings set at maybe half in front and maybe a 1/4 streigth in back) but not bumpy as hell stiff. Also, how dropped are you? The lower you lower your car obviously the rougher the ride will be cause the strut doesn't have as much room to absorb shock.

big wheels can contribute to the rough ride as can running lots of tire pressure. Sometimes suspension mods take some getting used to, if you lower the car 2.5" you have changed the geometry pretty substaintialy. Give it some time unless you think its a real safety hazard.
My spoon struts and HR's feel good to me, but not like foreplay, maybe i got ripped off :cry:
