    lolol. i had those in my cart to buy yesterday from JHP but came up with some complications (business... not about the product) and then went to ebay and bought some tokico blues. i was set on buying these. they're the cheapest aftermarket shock for lowered applications out there and it's skunk2 so it's got background. i will say that with those coming with the bump stops you're going to save yourself like $60 on those bad boys alone. i think that would be a perfect set-up for a daily grind. not too stiff, but enough to keep you from bottoming out.

    go for it.

    lol.

    He is asking about SHUNK2 not Skunk 2. Sounds like 2 diff companies.

    You can get a comparable suspension setup w/out the price-point that Tein commands. Also - their springs don't seem to compensate for engine weight properly as far as stance is concerned.

    what if the price for the tein ss was from 350-500 only??? would it be worth it then...because i went to honda-tech and read their susp on accord and it all seem to say stiff, bouncy, but okay with the set up that k24cb7coupe mention...and other set up as well
