Thumbs up Quick skunk2 question

Hi everyone I have been doing a lot of searching and found great information on here. My questions are

1: Is there only 1 version of it for ap1 and ap2s?

2: Would I need anything else except the springs done to the car?

3: I got quoted from a shop install with an alignment $200 is that a good price?

4: What else would you recommend? Anything I forgot?


Thank you all

Ive heard and read on here that with that big of drop you need to get the following

Bump Steer Kit

Driveshaft Spacers

i would wait on the alignment a couple weeks to allow the springs to fully settle before aligning for a more accurate alignment..

I'd install them yourself-- it's pretty easy and doesn't take that long...

1) yes

2) You only need driveshaft spacers if your car vibrates after it's lowered. Some cars get wear in the cv buckets that causes vibration, and some don't. I put these on at 68K miles and no vibration.

3) If you can't do it yourself, then yes. Although I'd describe the install as only marginally more difficult than changing your oil.

4) Overall I hope you've read the skunk2 spring thread because these do little more than make your car look better (subjective). And also with the confusion of 8 coils front, 9 coils rear and vice-versa, you might be better off choosing another spring.

Y would you say that. I really want my car slammed and these are the only springs out there that will go that low about 2". Do you have a better idea?

It's pretty easy. But if you're not comfortable with it, the price doesn't seem too bad.
