i was just looking through ebay and these came up - i was wondering if they are any good at all - do u need to buy new struts with these or can u use stock ones? just let me kno what you think and a lil info about coilovers and what i need to replace if i ordered some thanks

 

you can keep the stock struts, but it is reccommended tochange them, preferably to koni yellows.

 

*bump* i know there's a few guys on here who rock dropzones. i'll bump you back up so they can let you know how they work out. $150 is cheap

 

yea i kno 150 sounds good to me -and i can keep my stocks struts not bad-also tho y is it recommended to change them will they crap pout on me if i install these and dont change struts-also everything is in that auction that i need and all i have to do is replace my stock springs with these and thats it then i can lower my car or do w/e i want?

 

how much is a good set of coil overs? I saw those and others on there for that price range and then there are D2 (dont know much about them) but they are $900 are the ones on ebay just super cheap (in price and/or quality) or are the D2 some very high tech coil overs? I might get some coil overs if those ones on ebay are good enough to handle some Gr-2 and maybe Tien-H (still deciding)

 

you should allways replace you struts when you lower the car.. do it right the first time.your old struts are worn and old.

 

Yep ... if you're going to be tearing it all out, you should replace the struts too. If you don't, your ride quality will suffer greatly. Besides, your stock struts are probably blown anywan depending on your mileage ... if the aren't, it won't take long to blow them with lowering springs.

 

I went with the Koni yellows and tein s-techs springs and i love everything about it. Dont regret it at all. Those seem decent but yea do struts while you are at it, cause eventually the stock struts will get thorn up with the drop.

 

ight so ill prbly get new struts but the coilover that i am looking at is good and i should go for it?

 

.............

 

those coilovers are probably not very good.

 

come on man 150 dollars for coilovers? especially drop zones. if you dont care how your car rides then get those

 

I got brand new WeaponsRs coilovers for $150 if you want them.

 

get the d2's

 

LOL ... I've got some struts if you want them too

 

wut kind of struts -if that was a serious reply

 

If you want decent coilovers with an affordable price. You can't beat the quality of Ground Controls. They will have the proper spring rate that you need and you should def. replace your stock struts with at least GR2's or AGX's.

 

KYB GR-2's ... have about 2500-3000 miles on them. Shoot me a PM if you're interested, I'm looking for $175 shipped.

 

i might be interested but why did u take them off

 

I had a set of shortened and custom valved OEM struts made for me instead.

 

what did u do to make them custom valved and shortened exactly and what did that do?

 

I think you should do a little more research on what you want instead of jumping on the cheapest price. Suspension drop includes getting both spring/coilover and struts to accomodate them. If you think you can rock coilovers with your factory struts, then you're wrong.

Dropzones are a harsh ride. Just keep in mind that "you get what you pay for."

 

The stroke is shortened to match the drop that the springs give. The valving is matched to that stroke and the progressive rate nature of the maxspeed springs. Basically, it makes a perfect match for the spring rate and lowered stance.

I personally didn't do it, I'm nowhere near that skilled or knowledgeable in strut design

 

Don't forget to replace the strut mounts when replacing struts. I think the parts are around $110.
