I guess they cant be terrible...prolly the same kinda thing as any other spring/non adjustable shock combo...and hey there is a lifetime warranty so u cant really complain and for 240bucks its a steal I would guess for shocks and springs warrantied for life and dropzone has been around for a good while too

i'd be a little iffy at the terminology... to quote "specifically designed matched shocks/struts/springs, offering the best road handling combined with an exceptionally smooth ride"

shocks and struts??

but like cynical said the price is right

I have no clue who the manufacturer of those shocks are.....and 240 with 0 bids so I'd imagine by the time she ends the price will be higher....and the drop is pretty big aswell...go for it if you want a big drop with yet to be proven shocks and springs....they make cheap coil overs is what drop zone is known for.....if you can get it cheap go for it and hope for the best...if not get some h&r sports and tokico blues for a similar and probobly better setup and wont' have you scraping over everything

Hi, I was going to start a new topic but it sort of fit in here (Sorry for whoreing in on your thread)

I wanted to lower my car about an 1.5" can I just get springs or do I have to do the whole thing? I really don't want it to look like crap but I have to go easy on the pocket book as well.

Thanks

I'd like to do both, But I'm saving for school and I have a feeling that the "amazingly well handeling" Is going to make me have to borrow books----An interesting Option

borrowing ... LMAO ..... how's about Gatherer's secert super handling civic for about 2000? (or maybe less)

first shocks ... get Tokico illumina's or Koni yellows...

then springs get H and r sport springs for a decent drop...

then get a rear sway bar....

top that off with some nice summer tires and your set all done .. and cheap too...

Jesus Fish, start with buying nice new shocks first and buy some used springs, pref H&R. Those alone will make the biggest difference on your car for about $700-800. I went through school w/o books pretty much, I just went to class and took notes. You don't need books.

As for Dropzone... ummm... no! Well, do you wanna be a ricecake? or do you wanna own the corners? Remember, your susp and tires are the difference between a wicked adrenaline rush... or a wicked encounter with a curb/guardrail/ditch.
