According to the Skunk website they are supposed to be a 1.8-2 drop while the Espelirs are a supposed 1.3 drop. The Skunks should be a big drop in comparison but I can say by experience the Espelirs look to be more than 1.3

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
That looks about right. Just give it a month or 2 for it to FULLY settle then that thing will be slammedddddd.

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...
the 17's made it look low in the pics thats all, but my buddy with an ap1 with 16's is the same height from the ground but I had less whell gap, oh well i got apexi n1's now i didnt like the way the konis and skunk2 handled on the street thats all.

Post those pics

Also for those that have the Skunks on stock struts. About how much finger gap do YOU have in the front and rear after you think they have fully settled??

Front- 1 Finger
Rear- 2 Finger

Im hoping the rear will drop another half inch or so!!
