Dropzone N1 Full Coilovers (under 1k)

Allows complete ride-height adjustability without sacrificing any suspension travel.

Comes complete with all necessary hardware ..including Upper Strut Mounts which are Camber adjustable (Other brands charges extra)!

Mono Tube Shock Absorber - Whether being touring, rally or even Formula 1 racing, most engineers of these professional race teams would prefer using a mono tube shock absorber as a foundation of their suspension system. This is due to the fact that a mono tube shock absorber can cool off faster from the direct contact with the outside air. This in turn will aid in the prevention of shock cavitations (boiling of the shock oil at high temperatures). which allows the suspension to perform better under aggressive driving.

Steel Upper Mount - Every DZ N1 system comes equipped with steel upper mounts so that you don't have to disassemble the original stock units to complete the suspension kit. The steel upper mounts helps to equally distribute the weight and force to the shock tower. The high-density rubber pad helps to reduce road noise and keep the car properly aligned.

High Molecule Force Coil Spring - The coil spring used in the DZ N1 suspension is made from high molecule forced steel. After being tested by millions of times on our dyno, we found this spring construction to resist wear and tear, and sustain its efficiency and consistent spring rate. The handling and performance can match by the skill of each driver due the high spring rate used in DZ N1 suspension.

Inner Bump Stop - Although the inner bump stop can't be seen from the outside of the shock, DZ N1 includes one with every application to prevent damages caused by rapid and lethal compression impacts from the road surface to inner structure of the shock.

Adjustable Ride Height - DZ N1 features a wide range of height adjustments without changing the spring compression and sacrificing the shock stroke. Traditional Hi-Low kits (coilovers) require the movement of the spring perch to determine the ride height, causing a reduction in suspension travel and induce coil spring binding. The bottom shock fork/connecter is treaded to allow height adjustments to each driver's need without having to shorten the suspension travel by maintaining the original spring perch location. With this function, each driver can lower the center of gravity to achieve better handling and still maintain a consistent ride quality. Because of the wide range of height adjustments, the driver can set his car to his preference of appearance without altering the factory tuned spring/shock suspension system.

Available for 95-03 A32 @ http://www.abtivan.com/dropzone/drop...ensionkits.htm
for 747.50 (before UPS shipping)

Thoughts?

I'm already saving up for a coilover system, and with this setup being dramatically lower than JIC, Kei, Cattman/progress, I would definately consider.

Maybe we could get it for 700 shipped in a group deal? I know there's some of you out there who want to upgrade your suspension, but you are waiting for a miracle. I think this is as close as we've got so far with a somewhat well known company. Their website is very out of date, so any further technical details can only be speculation at this point.

Thoughts?

Upper strut mount does not mean it's a camber plate. Look closely at the pic.
