while i agree its funny, its certainly not an aviator.

oh, and I'd prolly send the springs back, cutting aftermarket springs seems even more ghetto than cutting stock ones for some reason...

You should have known how they were just from the name. Tenzo R is comparable with APC.

Why are people still putting shocks and struts on thier 240's... I would think by now everyone would own coilovers by now.... even if they were k-sport pro's

Because i had coils on a civic i owned and hated the ride it was wayyy to rough and switched to H&R springs and it was a much better ride and handled great, so thats y i didnt go with coils.

u gotta understand, not everyone tracks their car, plus not everyone has the money for coils

I couldnt find any documentation about the springrate on the skunk2's, so Im assuming theyre very close to stock.

I said under 500$

I payed 3 something for the shocks, and like 125 for the springs.

here is what they look like, and the springs rates are verry far from stock,( alot higher )

And YOU have to remember that most of the people with coilovers on their 240s don't track their car either
