opinion on Dropzone springs

I was looking around on ebay and found these for pretty cheap. they were right next to maxspeed springs. I was wondering how these would compare to eibachs. I tried looking for the spring rate but couldnt find it

I currently own them on my 1999 SE and I have had no problems with them at all. The front did come out a bit lower (1/2") than the front, but the car drives and handles great.

I just purchased a dropzone springs

I just purchased a dropzone spring for 96 GXE. Will it really lower the car 2 inches? Also, what type of shocks do you recommend? Also I compared the dropzone to the stock springs, dropzone springs seems longer (more coils). Why?

i've had drop zone springs for nearly 2 years, no they are no where near as good as eibach. they are the cheapest one to buy and the cheapest quiality. they are bouncy as anything. even with KYB shocks, if u want handling, for god sakes don't get drop zone. if u just wanna lower the car for cheap, and still have a baot feeling, use drop zone.

they are crap! I had them for 18 months and the back sags like nobodys business, even with empty tank of gas and no spare wheel, still sags. I never got a full 2 inch drop either.

save up and buy a decent suspension, youll regret dropzone



No spare and 1/8 tank of gas. compare the front and rear wheel gaps

I guess I won't be installing my new dropzone springs after all the negative comments I have seen. I would have to sell them back on Ebay. I'll try bidding on an Eibach.
