spring rates on dropzone are too stiff. if your looking for a decent ride quality, the ebay garbage isn't going to do it for you. look into an actual coilover setup. something like the skunk2 pro s. or a ksport setup, any one of those 5-600 dollar setups are better than dropzone coilovers on stock struts.

uhhhh did anyone bother to look at the link the OP posted??? They're DropZone shortened shocks, not springs or sleeve coilovers.

It's pretty pointless to talk about how crappy the DropZone springs are and how quickly they killed your shocks when the OP was asking about DZ shocks.

Koni & Bilstein are the cheapest off the shelf worth buying,save your money and get better springs at the same time.
