About Skunk2 PRO-C Coilovers:

Skunk2 PRO-C Coilovers feature the latest advanced shock technology and a carefully designed dampening curve for a shock that dramatically improves handling. The Skunk2 PRO-C Coilovers feature an adjustable mono-tube design with an oversized, micro-polished, hardened steel shaft and piston with a precision honed internal bore and low friction triple seal – resulting in an extremely responsive and durable coilover. Each PRO-C kit features precise 12-way adjustable valving and one-piece forged shock body for added strength and reliability. Skunk2 PRO-C Coilovers feature shortened shock bodies and shafts to maintain proper suspension travel on lowered vehicles and are adjustable to allow height adjustments without affecting pre-load. Included with the Skunk2 PRO-C Coilovers are either CNC-Machined camber plates with spherical bearings or top mounts with polyurethane bushings (depending on application). With Skunk2 Coilovers, enthusiasts can quickly and precisely set adjustments to improve the vehicle’s handling, response, cornering, stability and balance.

Key Advantages of the PRO-C Coilovers:

* Custom Spring rates for certain motorsports applications are available!

* Full Complete kit with no additional parts necessary to have it track and street ready!

* Skunk2 stocks in large quantities of replacement dampers so that you don't have to wait for rebuilds in between servicing. New Skunk2 replacement dampers cost less than most rebuild services out on the market!

* Replacement dampers can be bought directly through Skunk2 so you don't lose any street / track time with fast shipping and service!

* Built with strength, integrity, and performance in mind with larger shaft diameters, linear springs, and vehicle specific valving!

* Proven performance! The Skunk2 2006 Civic Si out performed the competition at the 2007 Modified Magazine Tuner Shootout in the skid pad, beating highly modified Mitsubishi Evolutions, Nissan 350z's, and Subaru STi's with the Skunk2 Pro-C Coilovers!

* Several years of research and development from Pro Racing Teams from all around the world including NHRA, SCCA, Grand-Am Cup, Speed World Challenge, Redine Time Attack, and NASA helped create the PRO-C Coilovers!

The advantages of the PRO-C coilovers are clear!



Custom Spring Rates available at an extra cost.

About 3inchs if you want to go even lower then that I would suggest going with a 6" spring so you can lower it up to 4 inchs.

I just wanted to get some confusion out of the way....The website has a promo price starting at $900. this is for the 92-00 Honda Civic and 94-01 Acura Integra kits. The Honda fit Pro C comes with adjustable length swaybar links, and a separate billet rear spring mount. This is why they cost a bit more then the other kits.

Coil over sleeve type suspension tends to be a bit stiffer for most people coming from a progressive rate spring to a coil over sleeve type linear spring with stock shocks.

I would like to get these in the hands of the daily driver/track junkie to try out and see how you like this. I've riden on these my self on a few of our test cars and also in the Kraftwerks Honda Fit.

2. Spring rates front and rear
3. how many clicks for dampening
4. any helper springs front?

2. Spring rates front and rear - 10kG/8Kg
3. how many clicks for dampening - 12 way adjustable dampening
4. any helper springs front? - No, The Pro C coil overs are height adjustable by either using the shock body or lowering the spring on the perch. We recommend using the shock body method so that no suspension travel is lost. Helper springs on commonly used on coil over setups using spring perches to raise and lower the vehicle.


thanks for the info.
Additional notes.

The Honda Fit Pro C comes with adjustable length swaybar links, and a separate billet rear spring mount.

Sounds like a promising suspension. Now considering that most if not almost all Fit owners are not looking for track type spring rates, and maybe looking for something more streetable, is the valving of the dampeners suitable for lighter spring rates and if so how light.

Reason I’m asking is I’m running K-bee and have 5kg front/ 6kg rear, and I find it perfect for daily driving. With 7kg front / 6kg rear I found it stiff and bouncy. With a 10/8 I would find that rough for daily driven, also considering I’m not on the stock 15’s, and I’m running 17’s right now.

Do your K Bee's have adjustable dampening? You should be able to adjust the dampening on the Pro C's to feel a difference between +/- 4Kg These are the same Pro C's that we use on the FIT R and the ride is very comfortable even with 18" wheels and 30 series tires.

K Bee's have adjustable dampening, and also preload. I switched my front springs to 6" 5kg swift springs with a 1" 3kg helper swift spring. This made the suspension nice and smooth, allowing perfect ride height with additional ajustability as well as a good ride. I have set the dampenings to 3/1 but could go 2/1 for daily and go up from there for spirited driving.

So you are staying the most you guys would suggest to go is 6kg front and 4 kg rear? I like that the fact that the S2 coilovers are aluminum forged bodies instead of heavy steal. What type of top hat or purch is up front? Like to see what that looks like (curious).

Oh yah, what is the size of the rear spring ID and length, so I can see what are the options of replacement springs.

I'd love to get my paws on a set of these.
i talked to my fiance, and we agreed that if i match 50% of what i spend into the wedding savings, i can buy stuff. so that means i need to save $1575 + tax... i'll keep saving! i'll hopefully be able to afford these soon! they look like they'll be perfect for what i have planned for the car, i'm excited.
