I have had them on my last to Maxima's and the ride is a bit rough and hard, but I have never had a problem, the handling is good, the price is cheap, and it gives you a 2" drop.

I would not buy anything that does not have a reputable vendor attached to it. Save your money now but I guarantee they will not last as long as brand names and they might blow out weaker struts. I would not short change something as important as suspension. It could then turn into a safety problem. There are more than enough choices in suspension for the MAX.

Don't waste your money. Go with a spring and strut combo or save up for a true set of coilovers.

I used to know the owner of a shop that sells all after market parts and he told me that the company that makes Drop Zone was Sprint. Im pretty sure that all of the specs are the same for the two. So I dont know if this is true but again I have them on my car and I like them.

True coilover setup from Dropzone at great price, only downside is there is no dampening adjustment.

I had a friend that had dropzone on an eclipse, and I needed to go to a chiropractor to have him fix my compressed spine after like 3 blocks. It was TERRIBLE. He got rid of them within a week. Had KYB AGX shocks, so that wasn't the problem either.

And looks like they give lifetime warranty

Yep,

full lifetime warranty...and while lowering center of gravity you are not jeopardizing suspension travel.

Man I dunno, telling my boys I got DROPZONE! on my car surelly aint going to fly.... I dunno but I reather stick to more expenssive shocks n springs. For the price of these you can get 4 good shocks, add in like 200 bux more and you have decent springs. For a gee you can have Teins or JICs. You get whatcha paid for, kurwa kupuj dobre shocksy a nie jakies pierdoly importowane z cze-czeni ! Marian z Wiciem siedza w stodole i spawaja sprezyny razem, jadac na domowej roboty bimbrze..wezzz.
