DropZone Springs?

While browsing ebay looking at tein and skunk2 drop springs, i saw some dropzones for about $60 less. Are they any good? I mean if they aren't, i'm not going to buy them, i'm prolly going with the skunk2's. LMK. Thanks!

here is a link...
eBay Motors: NEW Dropzone lowering springs 06-07-08 Honda Civic (item 110235684247 end time Mar-25-08 19:37:57 PDT)


and yes, i searched, but only found one thread.

I am also interested now! I never knew it could be so cheap to lower my car. I always thought dropping the car cost at least $400!

Remember, you get what you pay for.

Edit - Looks like the guy above already said that lol.

Just to add, the cheaper you spend now, the more it's going to cost you later. Springs may be cheap, but the new shocks/struts you need later on won't be.

Thats true.

I mean unless of course they are a good company trying to make a name for themselves and establish credit by selling good quality products at a very fair price.


I might give them a try when I get my nitrous and all my other little projects done.

While i definitely know, and understand this, i was hoping for someone who has actually used them to respond with some information.

A buddy of mine put dropzone springs on his nissan sentra. They made so much noise, he took them off and sold them on ebay. He put some Eibachs on instead, and now he swears by them. I haven't used them personally, but that sentra was awful.

dropzone sucks... and the seller bigboybrant is the biggest asshole in the world. when i was buying a camber kit for my cb, i bought the dropzone from them, giving them a shot, since my older camber kit was pos, the rear arm snapped in about 1 and half years. the seller said authentic drop zone, so i said why not, it has a brand name that's SORT OF out there, but not that big and i dont need great quality for my camber b/c it's a DD. well when i received it, it was the same POS as my old camber kit. I emailed the seller, and even got his phone number through eBay and he goes on to say that it is authentic drop zone even though it didnt come with anything that said drop zone on it. i told him that it was the same pos as my old ones that snapped and he said theres nothing he can do, if i want to return it i have to pay shipping to him, even though his "authentic" drop zone stuff didn't come with ANY proof that it was real drop zone. when i tried telling him to send me a return shipping label he said no way in hell he's gonna send me a return shipping label and hung up on me. I managed to return the POS camber kit back to him MINUS shipping charges both ways, and i lost a good $50 bucks. he's an asshole. don't deal with him. the product could have been authentic, but it came with no material to say that it was. and he's a complete dic*. if the product was authentic drop zone, product completely sucks. my friend purchased dropzone springs from my buddy who owns a garage. they ran about $100, they squeak like crazy every time he turns his steering wheel. i dont like dropzone and will NEVER buy their products ever again.
