Actuall, just sleeves. they are dropzones and i have tokico illuminas. i got 450 rear and 350 front. this car handles like a champ now man. especially compared to my old tokico springs. i would recomend them to any one on a budget. they dont even bounce, they're just stiff. ill post pics later.

I was thinking of doing a similar spring rate setup. Do you notice it understeering or oversteering? Or is it more neutral?

Get up some more pics, too.

 

its a a slight oversteer, but if reversed it will yield a slight understeer. heres some picks . . .

 

not too bad....how much the dropzone sleeves cost?

 

too low.
lowrider

 

they were only 100 bux, and i havent had the chance to fiddle with the height yet, so it wont be like that for very long.

 

whered you get the coilovers for? how much were they? im thinkin about gettin some coilovers too

 

with the steal stealies it looks good!!!! haha

 

looks good

me and some friends just put coils on a friends car today, and im doing mine this week/end

 

are dropzones actually decent?? or complete ****??

 

i have 3 words for you


you

need

wheels

 

yep, those steelies look horrible slamming your car that low. I hate the look of a slammed car anyways, IMO. Anything covering the top of the tires is just horrific to me. But everyone's got their taste.

 

StEElies!

too high, I was almost tuckin rim on my steelies when I had my civic slammed

Looks good, maybe paint the rims "gunmetal"

 

If you think it handles like a champ now, wait until you raise it up to a decent height and get some nice tires and wheels!

 

ive been thinkin of gettin some sweet chrome hub caps and some pep-boys tail lights for it man, wut ya think??? , tomorrow ill screw around with height and even out all the corners.

Don't forget to put on the camber correction stuff or you will be replacing tires a little too often

 

Same with me...I bought $100 arospeed coilovers...i was really surprised with the handling and the ride...glad to see dropzones are good too

 

how can you guys say those coilovers are good (arospeed and dropzone) a cpl of my friends went the cheap way and bought those and now a year later if you raise it up you can see the springs dont even stand str8 any more, they like sag to the side , atleast you have decent shocks/struts wit em

 

From what I understand (and that aint much) if the spring has sag it shouldn't effect the spring rate. Now I am sure theres a point of no return but mostly they get you into the game without paying to much.

Hey you can always upgrade later.

 

My friend put some cheap coilover sleeves on his car, and the aluminum sleeve cracked and mushroomed on the bottom where it sits in the stock spring perch.

 

damn she bee dumped yo

 

I had dropzones. Pretty stiff and handled real well....but on stock shocks and riding that low your shocks will be blow...well mine did. cuz I rode on 15s tucking for like a year wih dz's and stock shocks...but now I roll on koni full coilovers
