the dropzone coilovers blow. seriously, the absolutely blow ass. I tried them, a long time ago. They send you two sets of rear springs. Making it impossible to keep the front at the stock ride hight. i think with them completely extended to the highest hight, it was about 2 inches lower than stock, and they will butcher your shocks. I literally couldn't get a jack under my car with them on. I guess they'd be fine in miami where there aren't many potholes, and everything is flat and the ground is pristine. You'd be better off cutting your stock springs and buying some ood shocks. Get a set of eibach and some kyb agx's and your car will ride and handle like a champ.
the key is that any coilover system uses set rate springs. they are stiff at all times, under load or not.
eibach, intrax, and your stock use progressive springs, these get stiffer as the suspension travels. so they are soft on smooth straight aways, and as you go through turns the spring rate increases giving you the response and handling you desire.
suspension is key, do your research, and buy quality. but you don't have to spend a fortune.
