Default blox drag pro series coilovers.. just installed

well to help those of you who are in the market for one peace coilover suspension and have the blox drag series in mind, ima tell you a tad bit about my experience with them... this is my first write up ever so bare with me


i was riding with tokico illuminas in the front and tokico blues in the rear with ebay coilovers(this is on my ej1) the car road alrite with them on even road, but on crappy roads it got so bad i had to upgrade...

so i decided i go to a local honda performance shop down here in west palm beach florida, its called velocity shop, website velocityshop.com, shout out to freeman for a good shop with good prices...

anyways the spring rates on the blox drag series are 12k front 18k rear, once bought you gotta preload them before install...

let me tell you the difference this suspension has made is awesome, i thought it was going to be allot stiffer then what it is, it is very comfortable for daily driving, all the bumps i use to be scared of and had to slow down for arent really anything anymore...

the increase in handling i received is great as well, near my house theres a s in the street that goes around a lake, 4 sharp turns in all, i decided to test out the handling around these turns, and i did so at around 45-50 mph, and the car handled it with out a problem, you gotta see the street to realize how short and sharp the turns are, i usually take it at like 20 mph if i feel brave, lmao


overall im very happy with them, my only problem is i wish they went lower in the front, and that they wer adjustable dampers, but it still sits pretty low, and i cant complain at all from the performance and comfort they provide... heres a few pics of them on the car






before


after






fronts are as low as they go, rears can go down more







if i missed anything or have any questions just lmk

They look like F&F copies.

Blox was around WAY before F&F. So it would be the other way around.

The only similarity I see is the color though, how different looking do shocks and coils get in terms of design though?

I hope they last him.

Why would you buy a drag kit for a car that appears to be a daily driver???
