Anyone know if Dropzone coils and struts are good?

Hey guys im lookin to get a drop for my 95 maxima GLE but i dont want to spend a whole lot and i found a kit made by Dropzone on ebay. Comes with the 4 springs for a 2" drop all around and 4 drop shocks. (struts) sounds like a good kit but i just wanted to get your guys opinions before i make a purchase. Thanks!

I recall hearing that they were crap. remember you get what you pay for. Don't disrespect your maxima with cheap knockoffs. Do it right.

If it's something you'll use over and over, for a long time, then it's prob a good idea to invest in something more expensive, like Eibachs. If you're just for show and your car's a trailer queen, the DZ's will be fine.

If you are pressed for cash the Illumina or HP strut and spring combo is the only way to go.

I have the illumuna/ HR setup and The car rides amazingly. The fact that I can select the way I want it to ride is a huge plus, being that I am not settling on one flavor. In the summertime, I put the illuminas on all 5 and drive to PA and get into the twisties. The car is planted to the ground. the occupents are another story LOL. Get that tockico illumina combo kit- IT ROCKS
BTW- my sig pic is pre drop so pay no attention to it for suspension issues.

Ok once i get some struts and coils, is there anything else i need to install my drop? Like camber eccentrics so i wont have negative camber? Or any gaskets or rubber seals or anything of that sort? I had someone tell me there was something i wanted to replace that had to do with the struts when i replaced those but i cant remember what it was. Maybe a boot or something of some sort?


ALSO!.....I have had this problem since i bought the car months ago but when i take a lefthand turn i get this really loud rubbing sound coming from the passenger rear side of my car and it drives me nuts cause i dont know what it is. Anyone ever have a problem with a rubbing sound in the rear? It kinda sounds like my tire rubbing something but im kinda skeptical about that. Any ideas?
