I just took mine off, and the look was awesome but you will need camber adjustments unless you want to go through tires like crazy. The ride is bareable for youngins, but for the elderly its not good at all, Very bouncy. I didnt even notice it because i have always driving bouncy ride cars, but pregnant ladies will hate you for it

which would you recommend dropzone or maxspeed? because for me maxspeed on my teg was not bouncy on stock shocks.. but now i have kyb adjustable and its hella stiff... so yeah im think of get maxspeed.. and yeah i just want something not to bouncy for the car.. and the car is for my girl.

but yeah its good to hear your chamorro.. yeah man im from guam too....

I had some dropzones on my EF a while back and they rode pretty decent especially for the price. I had good stock shocks though and didn't go too low to bottom out the shocks either.

Just save your time and money and buy a good set of coilovers...

My Teins aren't really for me, but their build quality is nice.

really depends what your going to do with the car?

if it's for only looks either one is fine u just need something that goes up and down right?

if it's for performance you might want to look into something else

either one is fine to make your car adjustable
