  99ek coilover question« » Reply  Edit


I just got a 99 si and want to put coilovers on 1st. I'm looking to get a low drop, even if i dont use it to its fullest potential, i still want the option. I was looking into the omni street coilovers that say they drop it 4inches upon which the user prefers. I was also lookin at the skunk2 full coilvers, not the pro s or pro c, because a guy i know told me that he had them and have a great ride. the only thing is that I am not sure what the drop is. Ive seen 3 inch and i seen 4inch. Not saying im gonna use all the the amount to drop it i just would like to know the exact options with both coilovers and which one i should get. And i know there both around $650ish so any info or pointers would help. Thanks

Sounds like you want to buy the one that has the most potential to drop huh?

Omni and Skunk2 are both decent setups...but from my experience, the Koni/Ground Control setup is superior and well worth the money.

thanks, i'm gonna look into that set-up now. I'm still undecided so many people say different things about every setup.

i think im just gonna go with the skunk2 pro s coilovers for one that omnis are on back order and two that the skunk2's are cheaper. i just hope they give me the 3-4 inch drop they say they will. and i like the other setup with the ground and koni but i just want to get the full kit all in one.

Koni SP3/Custom Rate GC/ GC top mounts

its hard to raise the car with this set up. 1 finger gap in the front with it at full height
if you want the option to put the frame on the ground this is it

gonna cost you around 1100 but its well worth the money.

yeah, those size tires are pretty big. once you get tires you're all set into getting it to as low as you want. i'm still waiting for my set to come in from backorder. it's been about three weeks
