meh, it's possible they are 1'' shorter. No real way to tell without measuring them.

If you interested in them, give it some time and save up. Or just wait, I am sure some retard on here will think they are the **** and buy them. And the post reviews of how there the best shock in the world.

racerx510

thats what im hopen for, im getten some drop zones cus the struts get pretty good review

They wont last.

The real issue with trusting reviews is, people post them shortly after they install them.

I want reviews from people that have had them for years, not weeks.

racerx510

ive read a few where people have had them a few years and say they're fine. im goin with ground controls and extended hats, no competition just dd. i wish they made a shock spring combo that gave people the exact drop they wanted comfortably, like in 1" increments. have it online that would show you an accurate vew of the drop using standard tire dimensions like 195 -205 50 15 for example

How you looked into the Koni Srt-t?

Will be a much better shock.

I wouldn't drive my car on $120 shocks if you bought them, installed them for me free of charge, and paid me $100 a week to drive on them.

i drive from nor-socal a lot, about 6 hours and 425 miles each way, i'll post a review after the 1st thousand miles, along with pictures of ride height.

i am however, looking for pix of trimmed ek fenderwells, i know a few guys did it to avoid shredding front tires and i'd like to do that as well

98civdx

How low are you trying to be?

Are you talking about the lining? The tire wont be shredded by that, the tire will shred it.

I need a new one beucase of that. it fell down down on the high way, tire got hungry and ate it.

racerx510

hahaha, on nom nom nom nom!!

naw, the metal above the lining in the wheel well. im aiming to have the top of the tire dissappear into the fender so u can see the full diameter of the rim only

Grinder, hammer, can of paint.

Cut slit's into it every few inches, hammer it flat, OR cut it off. The cutting slits into just makes it easier to bend back, and make it flatter. The paint stops any bear metal from rusting.

At that height your going to need seriously high spring rates, to keep the UCA's out of the shock tower. which will surely blow those little shocks to **** in no time.

Regardless, you will almost surely have interference issues with the UCA and shock tower. Which can bend the UCA, bend the knuckle and will dent/poke holes into the shock tower.

i've seen a few other threads where people have 'modified' the towers as well. i've seen a few 'dumped' threads around here. but i'd like to be sitten like this

will bending or removing that metal effect anything badly?

within 1 month one of my drop zone struts had already busted...

racerx510

i know they got a 36k mile warranty, did u try to use that?

98civdx

No you should be just fine doing it. I haven't heard of any one having any issues.
It's only a strip of metal lol

HELL NO!! Never trust the eBay warranty, expecially on things like that. I have having a hard time getting someone to honor a warranty on a DEI product, let alone those shocks.

There's a reason why I said to buy Koni, however, you will need the sport to handle that drop/spring rates.

racerx510

if i only had the $, i figure it'll hold me over a few months though cus i NEED shocks asap, the guy i bought my car from had it on cut springs its horrible. i just changed my inner/outter tie rods, car still vibrates hard around 80mph though and i just got an alignment. need camber kit too, looking at the dme and tires that'll work good with my 15x7's but 195/45's are expensive compared to 205/50's... DAM HONDA'S!!!

I've had dropzones for two years now with dropzone springs...going strong.
