I've seen them on ebay and would take them over most of the coilovers on there, but I haven't heard much about them.

If you're going to cheap out on suspension, get some KYB agx's or some tokico illuminas.

Then mate those with an H&R/tein/neuspeed/eibach spring.

If you can't afford that, then you should save more.

I've seen tokico's and H&R's go for ~$350

Though i've heard mixed stories about the dropzones.

i have the dropzone coilover system, and it is ok. i mean you get what you pay for. the one good thing about it is that it has lifetime warranty.

Just remember the key phrase, "you get what you pay for"

There a any number of much better suspensions out there.

Ask yourself, how long do you plan to keep your car. We have Progress on the race car, had a different set of Progress on the car when it was on the street. They made a world of difference in the car, they great customer service and will take time to talk to you.

my friend had dropzone struts and coilovers on his hatch. it rode pretty rough. solid springs are a way better bet than the thin coilover springs and sleeves. i got my megan racing springs on ebay for $60. i know it sounds cheap but they ride great.

My G/F had them on her prelude. It was only lowered about an Inch. What they end up selling you is Stock Struts with the coil overs. I figure that since the struts were almost all the way collapsed after the car was lowered it wouldn't be long before one blew out. I was right to. The Coilovers aren't that bad if you really want Coilovers. But you should get a better Strut/Shock than what they come with. Something made for lowered cars would be better. That or something that is very stiff on the dampening.
