I had Skunk 2 on my CRX and liked them, they were a little bumpier then said H&R but I didn't care.
    how much did you cut them? and i had a friend that cut the springs on his wrx and it handled better than some STI's with stp springs on it

    I don't remember it was a few years ago, it wasn't SLAMMED and it wasn't on the bump stops or anything, it took a whole day to get right, measure, etc. But it handled good. If you do it right results can be good
