hey guys i came across this and i was wondering if i was seein' right

http://www.aplusperformance.com/cata...oducts_id=5716

they're sellin' a skunk to adjustable kit for $310.
maybe i'm readin' something wrong because i don't know much about the prices of coilovers but whenever i see them, they're way much more than that.

my non adjustable shocks alone cost more than that.

Don't even think about buying those .. I had them on when I first bought my car and they were absolutely HORRIBLE!!! If you're gonna get coilovers then save up and get a full coilover kit with struts and everything (like these here ). Sleeve coilovers like those are not worth it one bit, unless you're gonna have a show car that won't be driven daily. These things will destroy your struts in a matter of months and knock out your kidneys on every little bump. Don't buy them .. period.

well that's good to know.
i wasn't thinkin' about buyin' them in any case, i was just wondering how come they were so cheap.

i already have a great suspension setup on my car though

I'm gunna go with not true on that one. I have tokico illumina stuts with groundcontrol sleeve style coil overs. They blow the crap out of any lowering spring strut combo ive driven on, true they are not quite up to par with a true coil over, but since you can do your car for a fraction of the price Its definatly worth it. Ground Controls are a little more than Skunk2's but they have alot of good people behind them. GroundControl Coilover for 01+ protege INCL MP3/MP5

You're talking about Tokico .. I meant stock. Run those coilovers on stock struts and it won't be pretty. Besides, the ride can't be very good for every day use .. or at least it wasn't when I had the Skunk2's. Maybe the Ground Control ones are a different story, and maybe my judgment is biased based on the performance of the Skunk2 ones but all I know is that they were not worth my time or money at all.

Skunk2's are ****, ill def go with that. GroundControls are specially made to fit on specifice struts and use eibach springs only, plus you can get the with just about any spring rate you want so if they are gunna be multi use you just don't get as stiff of springs

I'm glad we could come to an agreement
