Coilovers for the wife

Wife drives an EM2 as well, ya its pretty cool But anyway, I have tiens on mine and im looking to drop hers for her now. Now, I want to go pretty cheap (not ebay omg 100$) but was thinking Skunk 2 Coilovers, I think their around 300$.

Reason being shes been in to many fkin accidents, you guys would cry if I told you how many times shes been hit...or I've replaced front, back lips, feders, ugh.

Anywho, anyone ever try these? I can't seam to find a review on them! If there is one link me! Or any other recommendations?

Thx!

just get springs for now. ride is decent and the stock shocks will hold up for a while. i'm still fine after a year but eventually you'll need to get better ones.

Hell yeah they will bounce you across lanes on the highway if you slam it. I had them in my 92 teg. The only coilovers worth buying are the real ones i think.

I have the Skunk2 lowering springs dropped it about 2 inches, still have stock shocks on it, rides fine, looks nice, found them on ebay pretty cheap.

For about 3 weeks now. I would think that after they settle a little more it may drop maybe slightly more I cant see them going back any higher. Believe me I know its gonna get shitty and when the time comes I will take care of that.
