Friend this combo and it rides smooth and has never had a problem after well over 5 years on this type of setup. And it still drops the car with out fucking anything up.

Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2012 5:20 pmI have skunk2 struts and I love them. but I got a cheap craigslist deal on a full set with dropzone sleeves all for 200 bucks.
I dont think I would pay full price for them though but if u can find them cheap used somewhere id go for them.
