Skunk2 Suspension

About Skunk2 Racing

Few names carry as much weight in the sport compact performance world as Skunk2 Racing. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Norco, California, Skunk2 has spent three decades doing one thing exceptionally well: engineering race-proven aftermarket performance parts for Honda, Acura, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mazda, and Subaru platforms. What began as a passion-driven project among racers evolved into one of the most respected names in the industry, built on a foundation of real-world competition results and meticulous engineering discipline.

The brand’s motorsports legacy is hard to overstate. Skunk2 holds the distinction of powering the world’s first 10-second naturally aspirated Honda — a milestone that cemented their reputation as serious engineers, not just parts makers. Their involvement in World Challenge racing, NHRA competition, and drag racing set records and championships that still resonate in the sport compact community today. That race track feedback isn’t just a marketing story; it directly informs every product Skunk2 releases.

All Skunk2 products are carefully planned and designed in-house using the latest computer simulation and modeling techniques, followed by testing in controlled laboratory environments on state-of-the-art equipment. Every component then undergoes rigorous dyno, street, and track validation to ensure it performs under the most extreme real-world conditions. This process — from concept to verified performance — is what separates Skunk2 from brands that simply rebadge offshore parts.

On the engine side, Skunk2 pioneered the first mass-produced, high-performance cast aluminum intake manifold for Honda applications. Today, their intake manifolds and engine intake manifold lineup spans B-series, K-series, and other popular platforms, offering everything from street-friendly Ultra Street configurations to full-race billet designs with CFD-optimized runners and plenums. These manifolds remain a cornerstone product for enthusiasts chasing naturally aspirated or forced induction power gains.

Skunk2’s suspension catalog is equally deep. The brand was one of the first to offer a Honda-specific coilover suspension system back in 1996, and their modern coilover spring and shock assembly lineup — including the Pro-C, Pro-S II, and Pro-ST lines — continues that tradition with full-threaded body designs suited for both aggressive street use and track duty. Complementing the coilover lineup, Skunk2’s alignment camber kits let drivers dial in proper geometry after lowering, ensuring predictable handling and even tire wear whether you’re running Tuner Series or Pro Series hardware.

Even in the cockpit, Skunk2 sweats the details. Their manual transmission shift knobs are machined from billet stainless steel with a PVD titanium coating for long-term durability and a precision feel. Each knob is custom-weighted to 440 grams to promote smooth, positive shifts — a small but meaningful upgrade that reflects Skunk2’s “enthusiast by enthusiast” philosophy throughout the entire product line.
