Try a search or two. Many people love the drop but hate the drivability with these springs. They also tend to sag over time. Not everyone has this problem but I read enough posts to not even consider them when I lowered my car. You really get what you pay for when it comes to any performance car part.

sorry guys i disagree.... i never yet read a post from a costomer of dropzones that they were disapointed. I love mine, drivability is great. And for the money they are a steal! Nice good set of shocks and your off! Ive had mine on for 2yrs and no saging here.

ask they guys here who actually HAVE a set on there car or did! There are a few haters in here! Search is your friend.

Wow you are one of the few. I am glad it worked out for you. Year ago I reaseached forever to find the right springs and I read too many horror stories. Maybe they have since changed the desing of the springs themselves because of the problems they had. Interesting.

I went from 12 year old stock springs to dropzones. Loved them when I put them in. After 3-4 months of daily driving they became harsh. Unsure if that is due to the springs or maybe the kyb gr-2's were not enough for them. Bought a set of eibach pro springs and bilsteins, night and day difference from the dropzones. The ride is great and the handling feels better in my opinion.

yah usually if the ride is getting harsher its the shocks,,,if a spring goes "down hill" it would get less stiff i would think....and id say it would be impossiable for a dropzone spring to get slopyier then a stock one anyday.
