Just like the title says guys, im wanting to know if anyone is running the maxspeed brand dropcoils and if they are good coils.

 

Good in what way? Ride? Handling? Search and read some reviews.

 

had them for a few years

i think of them as slightly stiffer se springs ith a light drop in the front and a "saggy a$$" rear end when my system was in.

i traded mine in for a set of jic coilovers

 

Even drop, and not too low.
The only non-coilover linear spring available for our cars, to my knowledge.
Ride is similar to stock SE, depending on what strut you use.
Handling is actually quite good and very predictable
I had them for 2 years and had no sagging problems.
The only issue I had is that the powdercoat started chipping off them after about a year (I drive in alot of salt in the winter). Other than that, they're a decent spring.

All that said, Eibachs have similar ride and better handling.

 

Thanks that answers my question. One more thing though can i get away with using the stock struts with such a mild drop? I know guys that have used stock shocks when lowering their vehicles 2-3 inches and have still been ok so i imagine i'll be safe running the 1.3 and 1.5" springs on my stock struts. Just wanted others opinions.

 

+1 on Irish's comments. I sprayed mine with High-temp paint before putting it on and it's helped. Why high-temp? Because that's all i had at that time

I've had it for about 2 years now, roughly 30k miles of driving with no sagging-in fact the drop is quite even. The only issue i had was when my stock struts wore out within 1,500 miles of installing the Maxspeeds. Take note i drive in a lot of bad roads, so a combination of that and the lower springs accelerated my struts lifespan (which wasn't stellar to begin with)
