Why are you researching on a product AFTER buying it? Shouldnt you do this before?
Atleast you are before your installing it tho.

My opinion on ANY sleeved coilover is they are crap. If you search/browse this forum you'll find out most people with blown struts had some type of sleeved coilover. If your going to use stock struts I recommend staying with lowering springs. If you must go with coilovers, get full coils or atleast some aftermarket shocks.

I have the Dropzone sleeved coilovers on my ride right now and they are awesome, very comparable to GC's. I can take corners like never before and the car absolutely rips the corners up, however, hit the slightest bump and the car bounces like hell. If you are even thinking of putting those on your car, prepare to drive slowly and carefully, even more than normal. Also be prepared to be shaken to death. I wouldn't put them on until you get some Koni's. That's the only thing that's going to make them ride decent. I'm taking my coilovers off and replacing them with Neuspeed Race springs, still not the best ride quality but better than the coilovers. I'm only doing that because since I had some unexpected bills I can't afford the Hayame's or the Konis that I want/need. That and I got a good deal on them. Of course if you want to put them on your car go ahead, just be prepared for a bumpy ride,

i got the skunk2 coilovers, and they are nice, easy to adjust, the ride can get alittle bumpy, but not so much when you have it raised to a reasonable height, just don't keep it absurdly low for extended periods of time and it will be good.

i just ordered some koni's, so the ride will be alittle better. goin on the freeway they are great, but when you hit a pothole or something you really feel it. plus i drive on detroit streets which are some of the worst in this country. before i had my car slammed way low, but i raised it up for the winter, and the ride gets better when you have it higher. be careful when you have it real low though cause the car can bottom out easily and you can mess up your front bumper. since they are so easy to adjust, i will lower it in the summer for probably a week then raise it to reasonable height again....my car handles great though, i move through corners sooooo quick, its great

the install is easy too, do it yourself and save $200. just now what you are doing before you get started......i didn't know what i was doing when i started, and unscrewed a bolt in the engine bay that wasn't meant to be uscrewed until the end, and it literally took me days to get the bolt back into position........if you do it right, should only take a few hours
