dropzone

well right now i have Goldline springs on my OEM Struts. and well they are all blown now lol. so i need to invest in some struts. now i was gunna get HP Blue but for the same price i can get Dropzone struts with new springs. my springs are starting to rust cause the coating is coming off. now ride quality is important but not to important. i dont care if its a rough ride as long as i dont bounce out my moonroof with my seatbelt on. you know?

how are dropzone struts?
same with the springs?
the springs are a 2.0" drop front and rear.

this is from the ebay auction.

You gut what you pay for. Personally, I don't like the fact they don't even have a website. Tokico, if going by brand name, is better. In order that most people would agree

Koni > Bilstein > Tokico > KYB

i got a deal on brand new DZ springs from a member here who decided to stay stock. I was even happier when i saw the springs were RED to match my car!

i think you've seen my car in person? The rear sags by about an inch (full tank+empty trunk), and it's very bouncy on stock struts. a dip in the road at 55mph will cause you to bounce *softly* up and down about twice.

I miss my Eibach Prokit over these, but 17s with just a 1" drop would leave a huge wheel gap.

its your car, do what you want to do

I personally dont mind the change in ride quality (its a civic after all, not some luxury vehicle). the bouncyness gets annoying at times, but i prefer it over the stock stiffness. right now i'm saving for KYB struts, which is what i shouldve done before installing the springs.

also factor in whether you think the sag will bother you for long or not. i got over that after a few weeks.

i already got springs. i was looking for struts and i found dropzone struts with springs so i figured i would look into since its cheaper than buying Tokico HPs. i love the drop my goldlines gave me. 1 finger gap all around.
