6 posts down is a post on Drop Zone Springs. This is a heated topic. The suspensiosn Gurus will tell you not to get them like myself and from what i have seen. Those who are not suspension gurus will tell you they are fine. All i know is that the ride sucks. I can't imagine anyone saying it ride good even on stock struts. I had Eibach Prot kit and Intrax long time ago on Stock Struts and it sucked and those are quality reputable springs.

15. Tien (Goood Springs

These are the spring that have been top choices not only for Cavalier but other cars as well. Eibach and Tien would have to the top two followed by H&R

if you know about dropzone why are you considering them? . if your looking for good springs out of those choices you put, tein is your best bet. tein is a very good company with quality parts.

from what i understood i thought bomz only made coilovers (typical ebay coils)

the reason i post in here is to try and save others from making the same mistakes that others have made. then again i can only do as much as try to inform you the best i can and in the end you'll end up doing what you want. I just try to steer people away from crap that will ruin not only your struts but other suspension componets like strut mounts, tie rods, cv joints, bearings, etc...

ComM = crap
Bomz = crap
netami = crap
dropzone = the devil
tien = good
zenn = not many people have used, but apears to be decent.

There are GP's going on for the tien and zenn springs. I'd lean towards tien over zenn, it is a good company. The other four are just ebay junk, so I would not even consider them.

From my personal experience I love the Eibach Sportlines, great lowering and not at all a bouncy ride.
