I don't have them myself, I was gonna get them but I got the look I wanted without them, the big plus with aftermarket though is strength, with high spring rates comes the added strain on the suspension parts....but as I said I don't have them (yet) lol and I'm happy with the look of my car, but if you do get them I'd reccommend getting them installed professionally and get a wheel alignment (something you should probably do after new coils anyway)

Idk if they're worth it. Or if I should get a different brand...I'll head over to skunk2 tomorrow and see if they have anything in the works. Maybe I'll hold off til I do more research.

Hey so I just tried to install it. Got thec18x9.75+20 on 235/40/18 ... and man when it's maxed low on the skunk2 coils it rubs...impossible to drive on 10k springs... also sticks out like an inch in the rear and maybe 2 inches in front. Did you use a camber bolt for front? How much gap do you have from top of tire to fender on front/rear?

I have a one finger gap front and rear but I have 225's not 235's...it pokes about 20mm front and rear as well which is fine, no camber bolts or anything else, I'd say it's your tyre size, you might not think there would be much difference between the two but there is when you're trying to go low...got any pics?

There looks to be a lot more meat on those tyres compared to mine...also, do you have camber plates up front? looks like its running positive if anything, or is it just the angle of the photo?

lol I didnt read this till just now, yeah I'd be asking for my money back, thats shocking! incorrectly installing camber plates is easy enough to do for the DIY'er but not a proffessional shop! once theyre facing the right way you'll get alot more camber

Honestly...on the skunk2 camber plate I can't tell which way is front and back...etc. lol I'll have to check in the morning....maybe they're reversed...also I can move the screw over to the middle which I just found out lol. Tomorrow 8am...time to do it right!!

Which screw are you talking about?

Also I'm gonna have a play around with different pre-load/dampening settings this week sometime to try and find the butter zone for ride quality without rub, I'll let you know how I go
