Drop Zone vs. Ground Control

I've been looking around for coilovers for awhile. Drop Zone seems to be cheaper but Ground Control has better name brands. Which one would you guys choose? And if there is a better one, please inform me.


I know this is probably a repost but I rather gain more posts so I won't be a "New Member" anymore. Sorry.

Hahah! New member thign was funny!

Ground Controls are Good! Drop Zone is one of the only springs i have never seen used. I dont know if this is good or bad.

Just be cause it has a BRAND NAME doesnt mean its going to be better. If your trying to save money try R-1 coilovers. They are NOT a BRAND name but the ride VERY DECENT! Honestly!.

What makes you want COILOVERS, just curious.

THATS WHY I HATE TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE BECAUSE THERE'S ALLWAYS THAT ONE PERSON WHO DOESNT MESS WITH ANYTHING THAT IS NOT POPULAR OR BRAND NAME. Spider, as you can see in his post above, its appears that he is looking for a CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE THAN GC'S.

Have you used Drop Zones or R-1's.

Car shop owners always prefer the more expensive product.



Gideon, think about it like this........................you could buy a set of gc's for 300-350$. You could get 3 Sets of dropzones for the same price around 350$. If you have no EXPERIENCE WITH COILOVERS then i would say get something ON THE CHEAPER SIDE BECAUSE COIL OVERS AND SPRINGS RIDE DIFFENRT! YOU MAY NOT LIKE THE WAY COILOVERS RIDE.

ya dropzones are crap..
i personally wouldnt get anything other then gc's or skunk2s either.. but then again i wouldnt even get sleeved coilovers... if i was riding on stock shocks, i'd just stick to springs. if i was getting aftermarket shocks, i'd go with true coilovers
