They sell their coilovers for 175. I haven't heard anybody talk about these springs, but i've always thought they were the cheap ones. On stuff like this, you get what you pay for.

i think you could find their coilovers for around $100 as well..
their coilovers suck but i've actually heard that their springs were decent... i personally would just spend the extra 40 and get neuspeeds...

my neuspeed were slightly longer then stock too. reason for this being, if the springs were actually 2" lower... when you lifted the car to say, get an oil change, the springs would fall out from the top perch and get misaligned. by keeping the springs as long as stock, you dont have this problem cause the springs still have a load on the strut assembly... thats the "beauty" of progressive springs... now if they were linear [lowering] springs and were longer then stock, then you'd have a problem.

In the begging the spring are good but they blow out your stock shocks really quick, and if you live in a rough road area.. watch out.. you'll need a chiropractor after a few rides. I have a friend that works for SCC (sport compact car) and he said just to get neuspeeds with koni shocks. thats going to be my new suspension set up because my back cant handle the stiffness of these springs. later!

Ok here is my scoop on the dropzones. I Got some of the springs and, they were soooo awsome, for about 2 months. Then i started to notice that my rear end was hitting really hard on some bumps, so hard that it felt like my car was gonna fall apart. As for the drop, it is a great lookin 2 inches in the back, BUT, i saw nearly not drop happenin in the front. Needless to say, very dissapointing. And If i have more than one person in my rear seat the fender will overlap the WHEEL, not tire, WHEEL. With two people in the back the hits are even worse on bumps. So to all you 7th Gen wizards out there, what do u think i need to do to fix my bottoming out problem in the rear.

Ok about DropZone, I work for them. about the springs not fitting right thats b/s cause i have tested them on my car when they first came out with the springs. And we have sold over 200 sets of springs and there is alot of people that do not know what are doing. Number 1 the suspension on our civics suck! The reason why our shocks blow they are not made to be droped, because of the travel of the shock and the spring being shorter. Think about it. smaller spring longer shock=pop. Now about the coilovers i dont like them(all the companys) because of our suspension makes it bounce. I have dropzone complete coilovers on my other civic 92-00 and it rides great. If anyone has any questions about dropzone give me a call at 877-237-9433 toll free.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]

Hey slammed2K1civic, I have the H&R sports and I'm taking them out so I can get different springs just a bit lower. If you can, e-mail me at JDQuik@shaw.ca and tell me about the dropzone springs and if you can give me a deal on them. I'm all the way in Vancouver BC, Canada. Any info would help....Thanks!
