Default Dropzone Springs/Struts Combo

I have already searched, but it only came up with something about dropzone coilovers and what I am looking at are the lowering spring/strut combo. Here's my question - are these good quality in a lowering spring/strut combo? Has anyone ever used these before?

I would suggest you not go with those springs. They are probably very cheap and will ride like crap.

when i first got my 2nd accord, the guy who owned it before me had this really bad set of coilovers on it, i mean horrible, these were the kind that were ok when they were new, but about 3 months later they lost any sort of weight handling capabilities, and the tire, when on any road surface would travel into the fender and bang into the car, coil-overs by such companies are so horrible, i once looked at getting low-boyz, but those are **** also, the only set i would now get is either DTM coil over systems which i have on my other accord, although i dont do too many miles on it (5000 a year), that suspension is excellent, or Apexi world dampening system, those are nice 2 and i readily see those for sale on ebay for about 600 shipped for all four, thats a steal, so depending on what others say here, save your money, i dont think going the cheap route will help!

yup, it's called "creep" in engineering terms. when a material continues to deform under a constant load. technically, you COULD sue them since this is a known defect and yet they don't take measures to correct it.

Where can I find DTM coilovers at? It that the name of the company who makes them?

I found a guy who is selling tokico blues with V-Spec Blues coilovers for a very good price; does anyone know what company makes this coilover?

i agree... drop zone, aero speed... = ****... don't touch that stuff... neuspeed race + bilstein sport shocks = good handling.... add a neuspeed strut tower brace while you are at it

in my many searches this afternoon, Nopi is the only place that still carries DTM coil over systems, and their price is about right, over 1000 dollars but well worth the price, then like i mentioned before, you have the apex'i world dampening systems coilovers on ebay, 600 shipped, that is a steal, they retail in certain places for over a 1000, and from what i know they arent even sold here in the US anymore, so i think if thats the case, get em!
