I would skip right over all that stuff and save some coin for a better setup. Check around the site and read some GC/Koni Yellow threads, you might be surprised.

Dropzone is ebay coilovers..flat out.. People have had them and sold them shortly after buying them.. Never asked why as I never thought about buying them..

as for the godspeeds??? i never heard of em. I would have to go out on a limb and say they probably arent top of the line .. At that for $400 not including shipping.... eh..

Id say some ksports, or ground controls would probably work out a little better for you. They're SORTA in the pricerange, if not a bit more than the other ones you posted.

i had dropzones on kyb shocks for a year. The rear GR2s were blown but the front AGXs held up just fine with them. I had 500f/450r rates, those [freak]ers were stiff as ***** but handled decently other then the bounce from the rear. I replaced them with GroundControls and couldnt of been happier, and with blown rear shocks.

Those godspeeds look like ksport/d2s/megan racing full coilovers = garbage and leaking shocks. Save up for something better known and well tested. I prefer GCs and adjustable KYB or Koni shocks for a DD/Track use ride.

I'm running ground control coil overs w/ blue tokico's, rides fine, no bounce like the chep ones from ebay. My accord had ebay style and the felt like hydro's. But I also ride as low as possible.

yeah both of those on ebay looked like junk, they looked like they were only one way adjustable get some tockio illuminas and a coilover that what im using on a ej8 they have 5 way dampening on the shocks which works out nice. Mine are at close to 8 years old no problems

how about instead of posting a link you simply type out the brand name of the shocks in question so people can just look at the thread and let you know.

shocks/springs/pillow mounts for 400 bucks, and you have to ask about the quality? LOL

Of the numerous different Tokico Blue set-ups I've driven/ridden in (I've worked at a Honda/Acura only shop now for 8 years and have seen a lot) I've never been happy with Tokicos - period.

I'd say KYB AGX are better than the Tokicos, and not much more expensive.

Ground Control coil-over sleeves are the best in coil-over sleeves though, no complaints there.

Ideally some Koni Yellows/GC sleeves would end up in your car. Koni Yellows are IMO the best off the shefl shock for our cars.

In my opinion, if you did buy that ebay suspension, you will probably regret it in 6 months or so. They are inexpensive for a reason. I would recommend honda stock replacements (~$600-$650 for all the parts). Or if you want performance suspension, don't go any cheaper than $750 for the system. You get what you pay for.
