Skunk2 springs are available for 2012 SI's!!

Yup everything is installed correctly and I hit bumps and all that no creaking or funny noises ride just like stock, but I only put 90 miles so maybe the front settles different than the rear.

Hmm. That's odd. Maybe you're right lol. I hope everything works out once it's all settled. Guess we'll have to wait and see!

Damn im a little disappointed with the front drop so far. I hope they drop more than that

I'm pretty sure it will, they made the front a bit stiffer to begin with cause it is a fwd car so the front has to take on the weight of the motor and all that. Just give it time, I'm gonna try to put more miles tonight, so it can settle more faster lol

How long did it take you to install? I've been calling around and places want like 400+$ to install.

Honestly probably like a couple hours, and that's so crazy that they charge that much to install springs it's not even that bad.

Hm gotcha. Could I google it and figure it out or would I need to find a friend or someone that knows what he's doin ya think?

However I didn't remove the spindle nut like he did, as you don't need to but it is a dealer and I guess they have to do everything in the book lol

Also make sure you have a spring compressor it makes everything easier and if you have friend that have done this type of stuff before doesn't hurt lol

Awesome thanks a lot man

How do they ride so far without the camber kit? Any issues? Or does it rub?

I love em ride just like stock, just anticipating the fronts to lower, so my rears aren't higher anymore :/

seems odd that you have such a difference between front/rear. They may settle more in the front due to the weight of the engine etc though. Report back in like a week and compare it to the photos you took initially.

Ditto!

More photos please!!

Just got done installing it 5 mins ago, the springs haven't settled yet but it's quite a drop from stock. No doubt once it's settled it will get lower.

are you running a camber kit? and if you aren't how bad is the camber?

Nah no camber kit here, and honestly there is not much camber but then again it has settled yet so that could change once it's settled.

 

[deveinonmystick]

I wanna see more pics!! LoL

 

[Jonathong]

More pics, it's getting lower I think lol

Front still looks higher than rear. Does front take longer to settle??
