I don't understand.

Wow that is a nice looking teg you've got there. My one good friend used the same set of DZs for 4 years on his integra, and I had them on mine a year before my ksports. Neither of us had a problem with them, though we both thought if they were stiffer, we would have been happier with them.

I've heard the dropzone struts last due to having a shortened shaft, but I haven't heard they ride great. How does your ride?

I have a set lying around at home. i have been tempted to throw them on my beater del Sol just because i hate stock ride height, but then again i have to remember its my beater, not my project car (which is on Ksports)

I didn't know this Thread existed until now...

Maybe I am crazy, but I see something very wrong in coilovers that cost about as much as 3 movie tickets

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by PatrickGSR94 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">...Rotas don't really affect anything in terms of ride quality or handling. They just cause people who are sticklers for "authentic JDM" to be butt-hurt because their "authentic" wheels cost 4x as much as Rotas. eBay suspension, on the other hand, is just crap all the way around.</TD></TR></TABLE>

haha, WRONG I guarantee you that any person that owns authentic wheels is definately NOT butt-hurt because of the cost of their wheels I will go as far to say that these people you refer to would chose ONE set of authentic wheels over 4 sets of Rotas. It's not cost, it's quality.

I believe it was Ground Controls over GSR shocks, could go lower in the back, and about an inch more up front. Ride was pretty nice for what it was, it would get bouncy on very rough roads but holds up well.

Other than that, it was smooth.

same dropzone coils on brand new AGX shocks, love the ride (500f/450r) but hate how the rear wont drop any lower (dropped all the way down)... (front has also been lowered since).

Still have my maxspeed coilovers upfront on my civic though now I have a pair of ground controls in the back since the springs are softer than what I had before, but still "slamable" stiff-wise. The Maxspeeds are stamped 2001 @ 580 in/lb spring rates. Amazed they are still holding up!

The beat AGXs I rode on for two years were getting a bit sloppy, so I trashed them and upgraded to some Koni Sports (yellows). WOW the ride is SO much better now!

Riding on them slammed with some home-made upper strut mounts and I must say the ladies don't complain so much. Decent ride and slammed. NICE.
