thanks
do you hear any clunking from the spring seperating from the pearch or has skunk2 found a solution for that problem.
Is the hanling better, worse, or the same?
No more questions, I promise

I do hear a qlunking sound, back only, when I pull into my driveway, or like a Mcdonalds or something where the car twists somewhat. I can actually hear the spring separating from the lower perch. I have only ever driven the car with the springs as low as they will go, I think if I drove it at about a 2 inch drop instead of 4, I dont think that would happen. Handling is much better. I felt like the stock suspension had quite a lot of body roll....interstate off ramp.....and now there is none. My car had somewhat of a stiff ride factory, but with the coilovers slammed, the ride is MUCH stiffer. I talked to the TOKICO representative at the NOPI Nationals, and he said lowered struts would be available sometime in Nov. They would be designed for no more than a 2.5 inch drop. I assume my factory struts will wear out soon, so then I will hopefully find something to do. Dont worry about asking questions. I will answer all that I can. Talk to you later.

One more thing, I took some measurements if you are interested in how much the skunk2s' drop the P5. Distances are inches too the ground.
front side skirt 4.25 front air dam 6.75
rear side skirt 4.25
front door molding 16
rear door molding 16.5
rear apron 7.5
black plastic lip under front airdam 4.75
I would give you fender measurements but the front fenders are so much shorter than the rears, that is why the car looks lower in the back. My wife drives a 2002 Camry, and when I pull my P5 into the garage beside her car, my P5 is so small looking, almost like a toy Talk to you later
