Default Dropzone Productrs!

Has anyone heard a good response to Dropzone struts and coilovers? I've seen them posted up on Ebay for a pretty cheap price but i'm skeptical on the quality and performance...

Please chime in fellas!

I owned a 95 EG for 8 years. I had Drop Zone struts and coilovers on it for 7 of those years, I never had any problems. I had 2" spacers, wide body, the ride was very good, daily driver. No complaints, they were will worth the money.

Thanks for the feedback. Keep it coming guys. I'm curious to know others who have owned these before.

Are you putting them on a teg or a civic? Bc I have been looking for some for my 00 civic ex and have not been able to find them. I know they have some for 94 to 01 tegs and I know most of them are interchangable or so I've hear. Is this correct? If so I'm going to pick me up some of them for the teg and put it on my civic

I might just pick a set up. They ain't that expensive for the two so I'll try it out soon. and since msb gave a positive feedback i'm gonna try it out. And plus they got the gen 2 out so maybe they upgraded from b4 and fix what ever problems some people we're complaining about. Hope all goes well for anyone who picks these up.

I have a 94 civic hatch. Not sure about the interchangeability between civics and integs for this suspension settup. Like you said, for that price i'm willing to also try them out since there has been confirmed positive feedback. I will be sure to share my experience with you guys on this thread. Wish me luck!

Their true coil overs or springs and struts? I have heard good and bad.

I saw a guy w/ a 5th gen Accord who go DropZone COILOVERS for $640 and those things looked like really really good quality.

I've got an EG hatch that came with Dropzone coilovers on KYB GR2s when I bought it. The car didn't handle poorly, but it didn't handle great either. It had a 19mm front bar and no rear bar and the turn-in was pretty bad. The ride on the street was fine though. I replaced them with Koni/GC and put an ITR bar on the back at the same time. Not sure if it's the bar or the shocks/springs that are making the difference, but my car is much easier to drive now and the adjustability on the Konis is definitely nice. I don't think the car is a whole lot faster with this setup though. I've only run 2 autocrosses on the Koni/GC and haven't been noticeably quicker than I normally run when compared to other people I am usually very close to.

94-01 tegs (92-95 civics), the fronts will work, the rears you will need washers since the fork is wider for the EG/DC, and the ek's LCA is thinner than the DC/eg
