Pic Request: Skunk2 springs, OEM's or UPgraded rims

do it!

this is how my skunk2's used to look like, i had more coils in the rear, the other way the rear sits so low that the headlights are aiming up to high.

Looks perfect...

Soo why do the others put more coils in the rear on their s2000's and wonder why they look funky??

i saw s2kspa02's car last night in person and it looks GOOD. and even so i think he did it correctly...

u can install them anyway u want, i prefer the front little lower than the rear.

Sounds right to me aswell.

My Skunks will be there thursday I will post pictures!

so the spring rates for both f & r are the same ?

i'm sure they are, but most prefer the rear slammed compared to the front. i think it looks weird.

It seems that "s2k_dre" is correct and most of ya are wrong because I personally contacted Skunk2 and this is what they had to say...

Danny,

Thank you for contacting Skunk2. To answer your question, our
technicians tell us the spring with 8 coils are the ones that go up front but
just make sure they are the thicker coils as well. Thank you again for
contacting Skunk2.

THANK U!!! i been right this whole time, dark sub rosa was tryin to prove me wrong this whole time and nobody would listen.

No problem. According to the information given by skunk2 technicians...
8 coils front
9 coils rear

This clearly shows just because everyone installed it a certain way doesn't mean it was correct. Have fun redoing yalls suspension!

I'll post pictures when I switch from tein stechs to skunk2 springs.

I put my skunks on tonight, 9 coils in the rear and 8 in the front. And damn theres a huge difference. Im going to give in another week to seat then get an alignment. Right now as it sits there is a two finger gap in the front and rear. And the car rides really nice. Easyist suspension i have ever done. Took an Hour and a Half...

my friends s2k took 3 weeks to settle to the point where it was slammed and my took a day or 2, so every s2k is different.

Oh okay- So then it will drop more then??

I figured it would drop a tad but more, But how much more are we lookin at if i have a two finger gap? Just a wild guess??

no you weren't right.... your buddy even posted you were wrong and had to switch them around.

I'm afraid he was right from the get-go. Most of the cars pictured in this thread looks funny to me because the rear is lower which is bad in so many ways. Install them however you guys wish but I'll install it the CORRECT way according to skunk2 technicians.

It all makes sense to me now my car does look lower in the rear i don't like that ima have to switch the springs oh man here we go again gotta get dirty Thnx for the info

i never had my springs on backwards, lol i installed them right from the start. the way skunk2 told me. i prefer my front lower than the rear, i like my headlighs shining on the road and not the sky.

Glad to be of service and post pictures after you switch around the springs if you can please. = ]

I will have pictures up here in a little bit!

Good stuff. Looking forward to it.

going to have to meet up today so i can see it in person...

i'm afraid though, you might convince me to switch out my espelirs..

Where are the pictures?

Your friend had pm'd me saying they were on backwards the first time.. The rear shouldn't have been so low that it was re-directing your headlight pattern, nor should the front be so low you are tucking tire. I guess these springs are ill-concieved. Oh well...

This is a spring compairison versus the Skunks(NFR) and Espelir(GPW). Keep in mind the NFRs skunks have been on for about 12 hours and the GPWs espelirs have been on for a week... Cant wait for my skunks to settle down and be lower...

The GPW=Teawins21








Sorry for the terrible pictures, its freezing in ohio rite now
