i just ordered skunk 2's and i really hope i made the rite choice!!! Did i?

 

hell yeah! skunk2 springs are tight! i love mine. have had tehm on teh car for over 6k miles. no problems whatsoever. teh rake is perfect.

 

They will give you a nice drop and a very stiff ride

 

Thanks solbrothers!!! that makes me feel better about my choice!! is the ride really that stiff?

 

any difference between skunk2 and tein s ???

 

well skunk2s have a 1.5 and 1.0 drop rating F/R. While the Tein S tech has a 1.8 and a 1.2 drop rating. As far as stiffness goes, not sure.

 

i thought skunk2 was 1.8 front, and 1.2 rear..

 

i stand corrected.

Note: Skunk2 Lowering Springs lower the Honda Fit approximately 1.5” front and 1” rear. Includes two front and two rear lowering springs. Skunk2 Lowering Springs are the very finest quality for the best price.

* SUPERIOR HANDLING
* AGGRESSIVE STANCE
* EXTRA SMOOTH RIDE

Spring Rates

Front: 175 lbs./in. - 3.1kg/mm
Rear: 350 lbs./in. - 6.2kg/mm

 

nope, you made the wrong choice. just kidding.

 

hhahahahahaha my stomach seriously just dropped for a second!!! hahahahahahahahahahahah

 

i'm loving my skunk2 springs, gives a great looking drop and allows you to corner alot better

i was short on time when i installed mine so i had my fronts in for about a week then installed my rears so its somewhat tilted but i just added weights in the back and now its all good

heres the intruction guide i used
How To: Install Skunk2 Lowering Springs for Honda Fit

but others said to just use these as a general guide

 

skunk2 ftw

 

well, according to the spring rates, despite the subtle drop, its a lot stiffer than stock, and there is a big difference between the ratios for the front and rear. higher rate for the back = stiffer ride.

but hopefully it won't be that stiff, just comparing the numbers to other springrates.

 

If I was dropping the Fit that is what I would want on my ride.


Cat :X

 

I love my SK2 springs but they drop lower than 1.5 inches My fit looks slammed from the front. Ride is awesome and I love them

 

sweet thanks guys!!

 

i bought the skunk2 too... and having it install this weekend...
do i need to do the wheel alignment straight away after i install the spring or i can do it in maybe 1 or 2 months times?

 

hey i have 17x7 rims and 205 size tires, will these rub on my car

 

I have 17x7 w/ 205 tires and they rub in the front. I think you could get rid of the rubbing by removing the tabs holding the fender liner and tucking it behind the fender. i noticed that when the tabs came off my fender liner on the passenger that there was less rubbing on the passenger side. was kinda funny cause i was checking the fender liner and took a look at the tab...i touched it and the tab fell into my hands lol...

 

I would def recommend getting a wheel alignment right after the springs are installed. I set up a alignment appointment a couple days before i installed my skunk2's so when i installed them i went right over a couple minutes later and had it taken care of. Its the best way to go. I love my skunk2's. They are stiff and the stance is great.
