found this set of dropzone strut/spring auction on ebay for $369.00, it seems like a good price, just wanted to know how good they are, does anyone have this set, or dropzone struts at all. Just want to know about the quality performance and durability. I hear alt of bad stories on some kyg struts and tokiko struts about blowouts and such.Dropzone
***Bump***
anyone with this set up or know anything about dropzone struts, i really need some suspension work but i can afford 600+ for struts. i dont take agressive turns so i dont need some extravagent struts

Get ST struts. They have them on ebay for like $300 with sprint springs. Or look for ST struts on google, $38 a piece.

that sounds like a good deal but i dont think it would inlclude springs right, i mean under 300 for shocks and springs sounds like a great deal, i would hate to pass it up unless they are ****ty quality wich im guessing they are since no one is responding to this post, any other suggestionsOriginally Posted by Scott_98Max

Then what's this? A typo? I mean not unless I'm reading it incorrectly? You tell me. I figured that with the illuminas and springs it would be about 600+.
So my question to you would be, did you even read what he wrote?

Are you serious? LOL I'm assuming you've been a member for a while. You've seen the way some people type? I don't read minds. Just what they post. If there was a typo, that's what the edit button is for.Originally Posted by Big D
Look at the structure of the sentence. It should say CAN'T. It makes no sense with CAN. Read between the lines.
Anyway, I do see your point. It would be more correct if you add in the " 't ". But can you see where I came from on that. I've seen some pretty horrible grammar on the Org. Oh well, pointless aurgument. Take it easy Big D. I got to go to work. Later.

sorry man it is a typo, i can't afford 600+, not even 500+. sorry about the confusion i guess i just type so fast my fingers dont press hard enough on this d@mn keyboard. Originally Posted by Scott_98Max

but yeah i know the illuminas are good but add some 100-150 springs + shipping and i would be way over budget, and i have a place to do the install for 80 + me doin some computer work for him, so that would add onto the total price of the suspension money id need to spend. Total id spend for the springtech deal + install would be like $390 or so, which would be perfect or the drop zone would be 480, which is pushing it but is still decent.
Any other suggestions guys, i appreciate all of ur help

I don't know about the Dropzone's, but there is a group deal going on right now from Cattman on KYB struts and Progress springs for like $500. I know those are good quality.

I have never read about the GR-2's blowing in the rear. Only the Tokico Blues. BTW the GR-2's have a lifetime warrenty.

kev i just found out about the lifetime warranty and not only that it turns out that is what my friend has on his max, i went for a spin and was impressed. Whats even better there is a GD in the GD Forum for the GR-2s for $245.00 shipped for shocks, or $380 shipped for shocks and progress springs. Ill probably just get the shocks and get the same brand spring as my friend, i believe it was sprint. His 96 max has a nice drop and it handled very well through some turns, has anyone tried both and found that the progress are actually better than the sprint, if so i might just go ahead and get the progress, total $380 is under my budget and should be better quality than the springtech and dropzone(360 + ship).Originally Posted by kevlo911
