Never buy dropzone.I know that one guy had one spring break but my problem is bottoming out on every bump due to their weak shocks.Now I just drive my 05 Malibu around,It handles better and is faster.

that's nice, there are some major differences in the way the 2 cars are constructed. I believe the front end of your car is constructed of aluminimun. It's lighter than steel, and more gives a more responsive steering feel.
what kind of shocks/sturts did you match with your dropzone springs?
It's true, dropzone are cheap and you pay for what you get... that's why I went with h&R and kyb agx. Others went with D2 or Ksports.

I still have the dropzone shocks on mine and springs. They don't bottom out unlesss you hit a bump very hard. But they did only last 40k before the shocks are shot, I'm waiting until the spring to replace them since winter will be here soon.

for anyone that doesn't know what the OP is talking about. This is the spring that broke, yes that is one spring broken into 4 pieces

it sounds like you guys are running these on stock shocks. there's your first mistake. and because of that, your complaints about the springs aren't valid. no lowering spring rides well on stock shocks.

dropzone makes coilovers too. just like the spring, they sucks too. expect many "ygwypf" responses.

I have dropzone struts. the Op made it sound like he has them too, but maybe he is on stock struts?
