i was actually thinkin about them to get me through the winter. with the warentee i think its safe, but who knows if they will last. You could **** in a box and label it with a gurantee but that doesnt mean anything right?

Isn't there a general rule to follow about companys with a "Z" in their name, or is that only is there's a "Z" in place of an "S"? Anyway, you get what you pay for, but if theres a lifetime warranty then I guess they'll work okay. Warranty probably doesn't cover if it sucks though.

hmm I wonder who makes the shocks for them. Think about it. The cost of tooling and setting up a shock mfg'ing operation would be astronomical. They most likely have a company who makes 100's of thousands of shocks every day. They may be KYB, or just some no name korean made POS. Who knows? All I know is that I don't hear too many good reviews on DropZone. Correct me if I'm wrong tho
