Drop Zone struts

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3A11&viewitem=

What do you guys really think.? Read down to the bottom where it says "They being superior to the specs on more expensive shocks like tokico and kyb"...Can this really be.? Has anyone ever used these.?

Chime in people.....I thought tokicos and Kyb were the best.!!!

I tried Drop Zone springs on my 98 about 5 years ago and they were crap. Knowing that my biased opinion would be their struts are crap. I would use Tokico.

Well... i wasnt trying to get these guys...the price alone is scary. I just thought it was rather funny how they compare their stuff to tokico and kyb.

I had DZ springs on AGXs and they didn't seem all that bad.

Well....i was just surprise that they are comparing it to the specs on tokicos. I would be scared of trying them as anyone else would be.....they are $165 local with lifetime warranty.

...how?! Koni makes struts. Ksport makes coilovers and springs. Ksports suck ***. Koni owns. One is orange, one is yellow. They really arent confuse-able...

Check the suspension forum, Jsutter has a sticky(I think. If its not a sticky, then it should be). They aren't cheap. Well worth it though.

i'd try those dz's but i have a long time to go before my tokico's blow. one thing about the lifetime warranty on anything off ebay - if you have to go through the seller for warranty you might get screwed since most of them disappear often and fast.

I don't know much when it comes to suspension. Both my cars are still riding stock in that department.

Whats the point? It seems 4th genners (well max owners in general) just cant grasp the concept. They do what they want to do. I feel like a broken record with CSK and not too many people get it. Everyone is stuck on low drops and no travel. No skin off my sac. My car rides great, even with Suck Techs.




KYB and TOKICO and can suck on a fat one!!

Dropzones are not worth the powder to blow them to hell.

Go ahead and cheap out, but dont come back complaining.

Better?
