Dropzone Full coilovers

I have has my stock suspension for 9 year and its about time for a new one. I don't really have a problem with how the car rides even though its rough. Do you think that the DZ Coilovers would be even rougher than 9 year stock suspension.
The car guy said i would have to replace the suspension with the next year so here are my opinions b/c i wanna lower my car too:
1) Get the dropzone full coilovers because all of the other full coilovers are not in my price range.
2) buy good shocks and struts and and some cheap [ as in low in price] coilovers.
3 ) but decnt shocks struts and lowering springs.

I and leaning toward #2 b/c of the adjustability of the coilovers and the shocks and struts can't be any morse than what i have now. Whats yalls opinion?

...you're going to regret it. Better look at other options.

#3 is definitely the best option listed. If you want to do coilovers right, you gotta spen serious cheese. Even then it'll ride really stiff. I got the Tokico kit (Springs with Illumina struts/shocks). and I love it.

I hear many bad tings about dropzones...it's no joke. You're better off saving. If you live in dry weather just get springs and shocks. Something like Teins, Eichbachs with Illuminas or Agx's. I don't have tons of money either....looka at the group buys and get the ball rolling. I just picked up some KYB GR-2 for $250 all needed are the springs. When I get them I know it won't go over $200....Hope this helped...
