they suck, trust us. What is your goal? Slammed? Slight drop? Tight ride? Soft ride? Take a look here:

i dont have the springs( i have tiens), but i know friends who have delt with dropzone coilovers. and they all love them, and i agree. they are a good company, and the prices are just low b/c they're brand new.

H&R for the stock max. They look sweet with the stock SE wheels.

I've got Drop Zones. I did cut 1 coil onthe front though. I cut a half coilfrom the top,and a half coil from the bottom, and the ride is really not that bad. The drop evened out, and I'm pleased.
