Dropzone!?!/2in drop setup help

well its that time of the year... i was originaly thinking of getting sprints and illumina's but after looking through everything that setup seems a little $steep$ so i was looking at the dropzone strut/spring setup on ebay. does anyone have them or know anything about them. Also does anyone know a 2in drop setup that isnt as $steep$ as sprints/illuminas.
Thanks in advance
SORRY to add to the 1000000 threads about springs/struts. just havent seen much bout Dropzone.

Both my dad and me have the dropzone stut and sping combo. I really like it. The ride isn't too stiff, but alot stiffer than stock. It feels perfect to me. I have more pics on my cardomain of the drop.

The color is Hyndai Blue. You can find the springs and struts on ebay.

Actually my dads car looks diferent because it was on coilover when those pictures were taken. They were Cattan Gen II, I believe. Now, they both have even drop. I am very happy with my "cheap" springs.

I've had my springs and struts for 9 months and they are holding up fine.

yea dont mean to burst your bubble but the CG are the best sleeved coilovers...but even those are super stiff! your best bet is to just spend the extra hundred er two and get some D2's... tiens.... or something along those lines.. a real coilover setup.
