Default coilovers..... dropzones? bad/good/horriable?

hey im in need of some coilovers quick and i dont have much money. i need them now though so i can get my car raised up a little bit so that the stupid machanics can get it on the lift to inspect it. and my tags are about to run out. ------ but anyway i was wondering does anyone have anything really bad to say about dropzone coilovers cause i think i might get them. i can get a good deal on them. thanks in advance.

i got the dropzones
work good and handles good
all i would like is that the threads are a lil wider so the dirt wouldnt lock the rings so u can adjust them easier...

but they work ok!

Should have gone with something else. Two bad experiences, one of the height adjustments cross threaded and on another car the spring broke. I'd be very afraid I didn't spend $399 on GCs. just IMO

IMO dropzones are very good for the price you pay for them. Sure you could spend more on teins or groundcontrols, but with the money you save you will be able start to buy better shocks.

I'm confused...
Why would you buy coils for your car to go on a lift?
Just let those dumb ******* jack the car up before sliding the legs under the car.
You're paying them enough as it is.

Drop zones are absolute junk! One of my buddy's bought a set for his teg, and got a set of lift springs for a ******* truck! Then the jackasses wouldn't take them back and trade for the right ones!

DROPZONE

Get a set of Ground Control's or H&R Races Springs!

just get lowering springs. if it's a daily driver Eibach Pro-kit's or Sportlines. Neuspeed and H&R are good as well. Save your money and get just some lowering springs

Yeah me too. When I used to drive almost every day of the week it was annoying, but I got used to it. Now it feels normal for me and "stock" suspension cars feel funny and it always feels like I'm gonna crash
