Has anyone tried these? If so, are you happy with them?

I'm looking for a suspension kit that when I lower the car the axle won't look bent

If I'm not mistaken, those are the coilovers that alot of people on this board have. They're suppose to be very good.

I'm sure someone with the springs will step up and tell you everything you need to know.

A friend of mine found them on nopi and said that it replaces the everything between the fender and wheel. Meaning loosing a few bolts and replace everything in between.

Is that right or was he wrong

Just remembered that the people on here that I thought had skunk2 actually have ground control. I don't know if anyone has skunk2 or not. Hopefully someone will step up.

Same concept as Ground Controls. It's a threaded collar that goes over the strut/shock tube and allows for height adjustment. Do a search for Skunk2 and you'll find a lot of info. From what I've read, people say it's much stiffer than Ground Controls but I haven't found many complaints. Lots of people seem to have them too.

He was wrong, the Coilovers only replace the Springs. They just add on an additional threaded perch which gives you the ability to raise and lower the height of your car. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either Skunk2 or Ground Control.

Im lovin the skunk2's, yes they are stiff, but thats what i was looking for, this wheel hop BS was starting to get really annoying, but now, thats pretty much completely eliminated.

I got what i wanted, and the P5 is slammed, no bags, no switches
