If I were you I'd try to contact the manufacturer direct and get the spring rates of their kits and cross-reference to better known brands like Skunk2 and Ground Control. Just DO NOT buy kits that are less than $75 on ebay. I'll come hunt ya down n kill ya! (JUST KIDDING)

I had them b4 and they suck.Ride was so bouncy,handling wasnt that bad but i would not get them again.I gave them away when i got my h&r springs.Go w/ skunk2 or ground control,or if u really want good suspension get dampers.

i got dropzones on a hb and their great. not bouncy and they handle great. spring rate is also on spring, not some mystery number. they came with 400 f and 350 r ive heard you can switch them around front to rear but my rear is guttted and didnt want that harsh of ride.

i had them on my old crx and at the time i put them on i had no money to do the shocks and they were blown. but i put the coilovers in and slammed the car and rode very good. not bouncy at all and never made a noise or banged. i'd say if you want a perfomance coilover don't get them but if your just loweing it for looks byy all means do it.

whats the big deal with eibachs. a lot of what your paying for is the name. their coilovers are straight wound springs just like dropzones. heck if you didnt like the spring rates you can always get eibachs springs they fit dropzone.

I purchased Neuspeeds from a guy on here and the guy that used to own my CRX ordered Dropzones and forgot he did, so he's sending me them. Im going to install both and see which I like better, then Ill make a write up.

Dropzone coilover will be put on a stock shocks
but I haven't swap or change anything on my car since I bought the car "stock" from a guy 2 months ago. except for 15inch rims that I bought 3 weeks ago. the car would be daily driven is this Dropzone a good choice then?
I estimated that It will be drop between 1-2inch is the ride going to be bouncy?or am I better off getting lowering springs to put on the stock shocks?

Damn you guys drive around on stock shocks with coilovers. The ride must be pretty harsh I would think, let alone the abuse your stock shocks are getting. You guys aren't bouncing all over the rode?
