Ive been lowered on SkuNk2 Race sleeves for about 8 years now. A massive bump in the road last week broke my RR spring in half lol
Im having trouble locating another set of SkuNk2's. If I dont find another set.....what do you all recommend as in the way of adjustable/sleeve/spring that is of good quality and will go as low? I dont need shocks, i have a brand new set of Tockikos.

Thanx 4dr Ex 4cyl

Skunk2 discontinued them, and be careful if you find a set because the last run they did of them had defective sleeves and were recalled. The customer service rep I talked to at Skunk2 said most retailers didn't send them back and advised me not to buy them if I found a set online.

I DID end up still getting a set for the Accord, but they were an earlier build date that I bought from Kid2000EX on here and never had a problem with them.

I'd go for GC's if you want another set of sleeves.

There's really no other quality option besides gc, but they don't go low without taking out one of the adjusting collars.

and for a few more bucks you could just get a set of F&F Type Ones. They'll give you about the same performance, but you'll get your shocks replaced too, and judging by how low you keep your car, and the fact that it has been like that for eight years, they could probably stand to be replaced, lol.

personally I wouldn't recommend sleeves.

blow out stock shocks easily and if you take the extra money to buy decent shocks you should have just saved a bunch of trouble and purchased some decent coilovers

I agree with this. It's only $600 shipped for the Type1's. If you're in Cali, you could get it picked up for even cheaper.

Not always. Skunk2 made a quality product, and Ground Control still does. Sleeves just get a bad rap because of all of the cheap *** eBay **** on the market. A set of Koni Sports paired with GC sleeves will preform better and last longer than a lot of full coilover setups currently on the market.
