I have a 2000 LS with skunk2 sleeves (lowered about 2 inches) and tokico illuminas. I am tired of the bouncy ride. It rode good for about the first 3 months then it just got progressively worse and worse. Right now the shocks are on setting 3 and it is somewhat okay, but my neck hurts after a day of riding on the interstate. I've checked the shocks and no fluid is leaking that I can see, so I think they are okay.

What can I replace the coilovers with to have a somewhat more bearable ride? Anything under about 400 would be ideal but if you have suggestions, please give them.

 

what are the spring rates on your springs?

 

Whatever the stock ones are for skunk 2. I am not too sure what they are and I didn't see them on their site.

 

your problem is most likely that your shocks just cant handle your spring rates. if you wanna fix it your probably gona have to buy a new set of shocks that can handle your springs. goodluck

 

Know of any shocks that would compliment the Skunk2's?

 

I think Koni Yellows would do just fine....I'm planning on doin the same setup but I was planning on getting Ground Controls instead of Skunks

 

What if I switched to Eibach Sportlines? Would that help any at all?

 

Skunk 2's have very hard spring rates in the front from what I remember. I beleive they are 500. This is very good for racing but not very good for the street. If you plan on keeping your car lowered about 2 inches. You are much better off with the eibach pro kit. If you really need to keep the adjustability (ie : winter car) than you might want to find a coil with a softer spring rate (350-450 in the front). I am also just about to make a new post about dual spring coilovers. They might be able to help you get a less harsh ride.

 

Can someone help me? I dont know jack on suspension!! I have obx coilovers on my car. I just bought the car from someone else. He said he used to ride VERY low on that car. He said I need to replace shocks. Anyone have any idea on shocks tha are good for driving around city and semi racing SOMETIMES?

 

Anyone know the spring rate on the Eibach Sportlines?
