Default Skunk2 Lowering Springs
So I recently bought a new set of Skunk2 lowering springs for my daily driven 01 ES1 sedan, to get rid of the HUGE wheel gap since I'm running 55 series tires instead of 60 series...I also got a rear camber kit to go with this to fix any camber issues I might run into...

Just wanted something fairly priced to get me by for now until I decide what I really want to do with the car, and Skunk2 were the only springs I could find with a 2.25"/2" (front/rear) drop at the time...

Now I'm seeing online that Skunk2 springs for our style chassis have bad reviews (rear sag/front too high)...didn't see these reviews until after I purchased the springs...

Does anyone on here have experience with these springs. They're Skunk2 519-05-1570 to be exact. I'd prefer re-selling them than even attempting putting them on if they're going to sit like crap...

I've done multiple searches and can't seem to find any definitive info...

Thanks...

They seem to look fine on ur ride, but I think it's the sedans that have the issue, cuz they're heavier in the rear.

The sedan is heavier in the rear then the coupe which can cause the springs to sag in the rear. Tein springs have the same problem.

yep, unless you get some different rsx rear springs, that would be stiffer, but less reverse rake.
