Default Drop-Zone springs...aware

i had those coilovers for about half a year.



they cost me about $150, so as you can see they got trashed few months after i installed them

Moral:
stay away from those

What do you expect? At least get something like Skunk 2. I've had the coilovers for about 6 years and they still look as good as new.

you get what you pay for....... dropzone=ebay replica items=TRASH

After being in the import scene for 10 years now, I've learned that its worth it to save up for the better parts and you need to research.... you're not only buying the name, but your buying the R&D that goes into developing the product, which most of the time equals to quality items! I've wasted thousands of dollars half assing my parts only regretting I bought it a month or two later...then having to dump it or sell it and spend the extra cash to get something that works properly.

Not entirely the rust caused by snow/salt, the springs were just cheaply coated.

Same exact thing happened with my coil-overs, lol they even look the same too(weapon-r)

I had those spring on my first integra for 2 year. When I removed them they looked good as new with a wash. If you wash you car after they salt the road you do not really have that issue. I got my for 69.99 on ebay

i bought them in the store, and i never got a chance to drive during the snow cause i installed them in the spring. THEY ARE TRASH it's i can say

even from the salt paint should not come off if it's a good quality product. like OEM ones 9 years in all kinds of weather and they still look like new

its all hit or miss on ebay brand stuff. i was reading up on ebay turbo kits and it seems some people have bad experiences and some are satisfied with it. it shows that ebay stuff is inconsistent and your just lucky to get a good quality item when someone will end up with a **** item...ebay brands ahve no QC.
