onni full coilover is best coilover for the money i believe there is a full dropzone but not sure of ride quality.....pay for quality

 

bump!!

 

Dropzone is beyond crap.

 

i talked to one person who just had the struts with eibach springs and he said the ride quality was horrible, and he was gonna switch back to stock...

Have you personally used them?

 

Just say NO!

Dont knock it 'till you try it.

They are installed correctly with the matching shocks I found it to be Perfect for the price. You get what you pay for but I havent had any problems with it for a good 12k miles.

Not on any of my cars but i had a customer that bought them. I took the car on my little route cause she thought something was wrong with them so i went and what do you know they were crap. She had the shocks and coil over setup by them. I dont know what you had but her car gets me to telling everyone not to buy them. You seriously get what you pay for

I agree that they are not the best of quality, maybe a step up from the eBay generics. How ever if installed correctly (I do all my own work) I havent had a single problem.

I Have the Kit for an EG (dont know the part number) But it has 450# springs in the front and 350# in the rear. Shocks are supposedly matched to the springs, but I doubt they actually are. Slightly vague install instructions but if you have done any automotive work it should be self explanatory. I used an Ingalls Camber kit along with the install on the front.

The install of the shocks/coil over sleevs went very easy, and was simple to adjust. The Instructions Sugest to remove the bump stops when installing the springs. I would advise any against this as it WILL cause problems later on. I have kept a close eye on the components since I have heard mixed reviews on them. After about 12k miles I have not had any issues with them. nothing has failed shown premature wear or distorted in anyway. It is lowered about 2 inches.

The ride is not bouncy, it is firm and about the same quality as a C5 on the Touring suspension setting. (I have driven both back to back) I have not heard any abnormal noises from it. For $300, it does exactly what I wanted it to. However I will be upgrading to Skunk2 springs and eventually Koni adjustibles in the future. Hope this helps.

I ride on Dropzone coilovers with kyb gr2's...came on the car when I bought it. Don't have any complaints...not bouncy...not too rough...handles well...will upgrade to a full coilover system sooner or later but as long as these work have no complaints
Hardest part is figuring out how to get the ride height equal on all fours lol...some say measure from the jackpoints...others say count how many threads you adjust from and make it equal on all fours...I also may just be retarded

 

i have agx's with dropzone coilsover sleevs. not exactly the best setup but eh it came with the car so it wasn't my choice. if it was up to me i wouldn't buy it, the ride it ok but it isn't stiff or smooth its just a feeling that i can't desribe, like it isn't good...but its not horrible...just ok

 

i believe the ride will probably be like **** with stock struts.

i have aerospeed coilovers on stock shocks and the ride is hoorrrrible. it is unbelievably bouncy.

just put some descent shocks on there and i feel you should be able to handle it. but i would personally save my money for something better.

 

skunk2 full coilovers way to go
