Help! Suspension Dilemma!!

I recently had my car lowered with a set of Dropzone Coilovers. Purchasing these things has turned into the worst decision of my entire life. In ordered to install them correctly you have to cut the front spring perch off the front factory strut(same as GC D.I.Y.) The place who installed them did so....once i went to pic the car up, the ride was horrible. I HATE THEM!!! Now i have a shitty ride, i know i made a mistake, but i want to fix it. My struts are going bad and now i have the worst setup you could ever have. I cannot get lowering springs, b/c the front perch is cut off, and i am not sure i like the ride of the coilovers (my friend has a 99 vic with GC, still kinda ruff riding). I want to get lowering springs, and new struts but this would mean i would have to buy two new front factory struts in order to get the front perch's back. Then i would have to buy aftermarket struts cuz eventually the stock will go out. Overall, i am screwed and i need some suggestions on what i should do and what will give me a nice drop (2inches). If anyone can help please let me know.....I AM LOST. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

Didn't ppl tell you that Dropzones was a piece of CRAP!?! I'm sure you've asked around but decided to get them anyways? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG] I have Tanabe's DF210s on 2.25 drop. I think it's decent if you decide to get them...as for what you should do, I have no idea...maybe get new struts and springs? Well...good luck man. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

you can still keep the upper and lower section (the sleeves), and order some brand new eibach spring from eibach. And there you go... you have new coilover. Eibach can make you any size, any height, actually... anything you wanted.

too bad if i m wrong.. but i heard you can do that

Your best bet would be to hold out for the H and R cup kit, which includes struts and coils.

Or wait for the Tokicos to come out which are supposed to be the whole strut assembly.
