Dropzone lowering springs?

Have any of yall used these springs on your cars? I'm looking into getting progress/ lowering springs pretty soon. Just not sure which ones to get. I don't know if a certain brand is better than another. What do you think?

I'm not sure if anyone has used them on 6th gens, but people have on 4th gens and the springs have actually broken.

Stay away from DropZone. They are cheap garbage. Stick with Progress.

I was really surprised at the price. I guess you get what you pay for. Most members either use the eibachs or the progress. I wonder what the advantages/disadvantages are on each of them.

LucKie1nE,

Thanks for the insight on those Teins man. I just got those done.

trackstarz04,
Man, I say why take the risk? Go with one of the brands that have confirmed results here on the org. What if these things start giving you other problems? Next thing you know, you're fixing all types of suspension components because of putting these things on your car. I've had two cars with Eibachs now the Teins. Everyone swears by progress. Go with what is proven period.

I just swapped over to Teins from Progress. You want lower go with Progress, (my are going up for sale in about 5days) my car already appears to be higher on the Teins. It's exactly what I was looking for. I used to say either Progress or Eibachs, I will probably adding Teins to that group. I gotta ride on them and test em out first.

Progress sound pretty good. Its a toss up for me between the eibachs and the progress. You guys have both and everyone seems to like both.
