I beg to differ!

I have had dropzone springs and then neuspeed race springs on my car. I like the drop of the neuspeeds, but the dropzone springs would blow them out of the water. If it weren't for the ride height I would take back my dropzone's anytime. They were as good if not better than the stock springs.

Just my two cents form a formal owner of dz springs.

Dropzone stuff is ok. It doesn't ride the best, or handle the best, but it will not easily break on you and will not randomly snap in two or something of that nature.

of course neuspeed race springs will ride stiffer, they drop lower and they need to have a higher spring rate to compensate for the lessened suspension travel (so that you don't bottom out)...

comparing dropzone springs with other springs that drop the same height would be more fair...

like maybe comparing neuspeed SPORT with dropzone springs... i'm sure the neuspeed springs would be of higher quality...

and nothing is better than the stock springs, its because they were part of the vehicle design...

Word ^^^^

Neuspeed sport springs have a spring rate of 200lb/in front and 340lb/in rear. so it could be safe to assume that the Race springs would have a substantially Higher spring rate all around. Stock shocks are woefully unequiped to deal with these spring rates and thus you get a bouncy ride. Koni Yellows would be a good choice as they are good to about 450-500lb/in springs.
