Default dropping my civic.

okay. i dont have all the money to buy the best suspension in the world. maybe later but my questions is: which is better kyb or drop zone. im going to buy it from ebay. there both 300 shipped with shocks and springs. i want something that i can still ride smooth when its drop. yes i know the top of the line suspension will be the best! but i can not afford it now. what you guys think?

Sell you my Neuspeed lowering springs, and then all you gotta buy is some struts.

i had h&r sport springs with kyb agx damper adjustable shocks on my dc2. very affordable and practical setup. some other guys i know use the same setup. i havent heard many things about the dropzones.

If those are your two choices, I would go with KYB.

How about instead of letting your money burn a hole in your pocket, you continue saving until you can afford to buy something that isn't ****?

Either do it right the first time, or spend double the money and effort to do it twice. Your choice.

Your best bet is to stick with name brands, and not buy from eBay unless it is a reputable dealer that wont sell you fake crap. Tein S-Techs with KYB AGX are a popular budget mild suspension. H&R Sports with Tokico Illuminas would be a similar inexpensive quality setup.

Dropzone is garbage. No-name coilovers are garbage.

DO NOT BUY DROPZONE!

i have KYB AGX on my EK, had them on my EG. my dads got him on his EG and my bro has them on his Nissan. they work well and are good for the money. not the best but for price there good.
