- Fri Jan 06, 2012 3:51 am #288688 I Was Thinking Of getting NEW Oem Shocks And using them with Skunk 2 coilover sleeves, would this be a good combo im on a tight budget.

- Fri Jan 06, 2012 7:51 am #288704 I advise you save up a little more and get an aftermarket set of Struts/shocks. The OEM won't last paired with a coilover system.

- Sat Jan 07, 2012 2:30 am #288814 Eibach springs and stock struts would be ok sleeve over and stock strut the strut will blow out extremely quick and you will have noise and replacing them more often. Friend this combo and it rides smooth and has never had a problem after well over 5 years on this type of setup. And it still drops the car with out fucking anything up.

- Sat Jan 07, 2012 5:07 pm #288864 and tokico blues and kyb's are a waste of money. skunk2's shocks arent that great but are better then the other 2 on a budget. and springs>slip on coilovers

- Sat Jan 07, 2012 5:20 pm #288866 I have skunk2 struts and I love them. but I got a cheap craigslist deal on a full set with dropzone sleeves all for 200 bucks.

I dont think I would pay full price for them though but if u can find them cheap used somewhere id go for them.
