no to the Dropzones, they are sold as "racing" and that's what they are good for, lousy ride on the highway, too hard for road use if you want a compfortable ride.
As for value for money, yes, thay are good quality, but too hard by a long way.

how would new coilovers help you not get pulled over?

and it's ebay- you get what you pay for.

well i had a s2000 and the ride was pretty stiff and i liked it.

and i want something that would also grab the floor, so im not afraid if the dropzone is a rough ride

i had tokico blue and h&r sport before and the ride was real nice but the car swing left and right to much when i took turns

Had just the sleeves on my Integra GSR, rode nicely. Can't say about these full strut setups.

By the way, it makes no sense that you're buying a full coilover setup cause cops are pulling everyone over? You're going from having a lowered stance to have a lowered stance, I don't see the difference here..

What does it have to do with you being pulled over lol
