I just got a set of the dropzone coilovers and I just want all of you to know that they ride real nice. If you go too low however, your shocks won't handle it and you will be bouncing all over the place. Right now I am at 2 1/2" and they handle and ride like my Neuspeed race springs on my CRX maybe even closer to eibach sportlines! Can't really compare since these are coilovers. I guess their almost exactly like the skunk2's (I have a few friends that have them and it feels the same).

They handle great in the turns due to the stiffer spring rate and since I am lower now. They are made pretty good quality (look like skunk2's) and spring rates where 450FR and 350RR.

Just want all you to that it's a good deal and it's not "crap" like a lot of people on this board says.

By the way, got them from Urban Imports on their group buy, shipped out fast and good service.

Most sleeve coilover are all pretty much the same. The only difference is the spring rates.

 

That is what I thought, but I just wanted to post that because everyone always says "you get what you pay for" and "dropzones are crap!" all the time when no name coilovers are mentioned. Just to let you weary of buying them know that they are a good deal and ride great.

 

lets see some pics of your car so we can see the drop.

 

to me they are good i droped 2 1/2 its been a year and i still like them

 

Second that brother!
i am a current owner of those exact coilovers....
got them off ebay for $90
they DO perform very good
they even arent as bouncy as the Neuspeed Race 2.5" drop i had and they ride and perform better IMO

 

What shocks do you have them on?

Alex

 

I dunno bout those. I wouldnt buy them but hey if there not bad maybe a person who is on a super cheap budget could gain some info on them and get some ok sleve coilovers for under $100...Ill keep my H&R sports though

 

I have stock shocks with them and they are great! I'll get pix out of my hoopty, but I warn you... I need a paint job and some body work really bad.

I have been riding like this for a few days now and I must say, I agree with the guy above about riding better then Neuspeed race, I had them on my CRX and they rode pretty rough, the ride I have now are more like sportline, but hard to compare to regular non adjustable springs.

I origanally posted this for people on a budget because I know people with money wouldn't even bother with them since they would go for brand names like skunk2, ground control, or real coilover suspensions.

People who are short on money, get these, they are great and best springs I ever bought (had eibach sportline, neuspeed race).

i only see X's !!!!

i dunno about drop zones but i got mine a few years back on ebay (Tom Motorsport) and the spring rates are the same as those 450 f 350 r and the ride is decent but paired with some good shocks and they'll be even better (same goes for all other springs or coilovers)

 

fix the links!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaah i wanna see the pics.

 

Let me know if you see it now

 

now i can see. can you lower it anymore ?

 

I can probably slam it to the ground, I think I have 2" or less more to go, but I don't want to be that low and bottom out everytime I hit a dip or bump. I was thinking about seeing how far it can go, but I need a lower jack.

 

yeah mine didn't go as low as i would've liked but when it settled it went lower but the back is kinda high. i'm gonna be using hammed hatches idea. 89 accord front struts and rear KYB GR2 with just the springs from the rear coilover. that should be good enough for me.
