Sleeves suck, I had the GC Sleeves and they were whack. Does Skunk make them for a solara?

I was under the notion that Skunk2 mostly created parts for Honda's. I agree though sleeves suck they make the ride quality suck. If you want adjustability save up for real coilovers. Imo

^ what model car did you buy them for? coilovers would almost have to be model specific I would think, even if theyre just sleeves...

I had ground control coilovers on my honda and the ride was awful. They reduce the travel of the shock/strut too much and make the car way too bouncy, IMO. To add to that, the collars froze onto the sleeves making them useless. I had a few friends that also had problems with the threads on the sleeves failing.
