well i was thinking about going with a DropZone package.. which includes coilovers shocks/strurts for about 400.00 i was wondering if anyone has had any use of this stuff? or what should i expect as far as quality ect?. any feedback is apperciated
Drop Zone = Worthless/ Stay Away.
The only package worth getting would be the = Koni Sport package.
If your looking for good quality coils with not a huge pricetag = Teins.
Otherwise , i would consider AGXs with the Pro-kit or get some GR2s and re-use the stock springs.
i would of told him to search but he doesnt like that i apprently say that too much, but thanks adam. read the faq too they also tell you their crap
haha.. i dont know but i dont wanna spend an arm and a leg.. maybe like 400 max.. maybe some GR2's and some coils.. i think i need coils because it says on like all springs i get that it drops 1.8'' in the front and i think thats too much with my drift front it would damn bear be on the ground so i def. need coils for like a 1'' drop in front and even it out in the back
I'm waiting for Event to come and lay the smack down haha

You will blow those GR2 within a few months. You haven't read the FAQ yet, go read it now.
If you're going to lower your car with those springs, get Koni. There is no other option.
If you stay <1.5" drop you could go with AGX or D-Specs.
Any way you look at it, there is basically no way to lower you car for $400
and have it last. (Unless you get stuff second hand, but new stuff will cost more than $400).

A couple things...
You don't want to spend alot of money...fine that's understandable but you're going to spend a good amount of money on a PROPER setup. Let me ask you this, would rather spend $400 on coilovers and struts/shocks and have a bunch of problems, scrape your body kit all the time, have lots of noise and an uncomfortable ride OR spend $800 on a quality setup that will be comfortable, keep your body kit safe and have no problems? You see my point? This goes with anything...if you're going to do something, do it right the first time.
Now as far as all springs being 1.8" drop...no that is not correct. Depending on what springs you look at and how they are designed, they will give you a certain drop and also a certain drop in the front and rear may be different. Example on both: Eibach pro-kit is 1.4" drop in front & rear, Sportlines are 1.7" drop in the front and 2.3" drop in the rear (comes out to an even drop).
I would suggest straight springs over coilovers (unless you get RK Sport's Pro-Street kit) because of the spring rates being better. There are really no other companies that make really good coilover setups and some companies don't even make them that fit our cars properly (hence dropzone).
This is advice coming from someone who has done exactly what you want to do and also has a body kit on and knows the importance of a good suspension. Use good judgement and take some good advice brother...I'd hate for you to mess up that nice ride of yours.

nah.... i'm to the point where i'm starting to let "the less than common logical" take care of itself.
anyone on this forum or anywhere in life thats too dull to read a "cheat sheet" of info AKA an FAQ.... regarding the question they just asked, kinda deserve the outcome...
luckily thats not the case here.....as of yet. but overall.
kyb gr2 and progress springs 1.2 inch lowering...
under 400$... and like i said on your other post, if you spent all that money into all the stuff you have interior and exterior, suspension isnt a place to be cheap.

He means the body of the car will be even. Our cars have positive rake, meaning they are high in the back than the front. They were designed this way for performace reasons. Leveling it out will reduce perforamce. But so will dropping the car that far.

suspension is not cheap. if you want coils then i suggest konis. kybs are usually only good for 1.5" drop. a decent setup is gonna run you from 500-900.
and if you whant coils, buy ground controls around $400 and blow your stock struts.....
I need a new sig =(
tokico HP are basically oem replacements.... like gabriels, etc...
