dropezone coilovers?

[schrcrzycrl]

i want to know if the ones on ebay are worth buying or not and also what do u have to do to get them to fit or do they just bolt right in. o one more thing do u have to buy new struts or do they mont directly to the stalk ones?

[JProtege]

i heard poor things about dropzone in terms of overall quality . . . BUT if you are just lookin for some "decent" coilovers (read : just want to lower your car) then those will be ok.

Yes, they bolt right in; everything you need is in the package.

You won't need to buy new struts now, but you may need to when you blow out your oem ones depending on how much you've lowered the car. The more you've lowered it, the sooner you will blow out your struts.

Oh, you will need to rent or buy a spring compressor. Please don't use the towel method!!!!

they are ****ty, unless as my friend said, you just wanna lower it. and dude, wtf is the towel method? lmfao

[NegatiZE]

Please don't tell me you tried compressing the springs with a towel....

LOL

[JProtege]

no not me. i remember someone on this board or "the old board" had swapped out his springs using the towel method . . . and it is just like it sounds . . .using bath towels as spring compressors.

hahahaha now that is some funny ****, dropzones arent bad, but as with much in life you get what you pay for

I used zip ties... didnt get a chance to try the towel method.... not to sure how that works

[Gro Harlem]

let us never speak of dropzones again.

towel method.........I did this when i dont know anything about cars and i cut the springs on my brand new 97 civic ex back then.

put the towel on the top of the nuts while removing it on the top of the struts so it wont fly all over the place...

[NegatiZE]

Hah, I'm sure that's safe.

[b16pwrdeg]

I've heard good things about GroundControl coilovers....might want to take a look at them.

[1ofdfew323]

Hah, I'm sure that's safe.

no it wasn't I almost got my finger cut off when the spring expanded....

When I was at the junkyard. They had the escorts sitting on tires and proped up. I just loosened the bolt and let that bitch fly.
That spring poped with so much pressure I was amazed.
I just wanted the strut mount though as my 323 needed one.

Those springs pack a serious punch..
becareful.

Anyone know anything about the Weapon R Pro circuit and Arospeeds. Haven't heard much about them on here yet.

[1ofdfew323]

Do they still make weapon r's? I heard they're really bouncy. Aerospeed, don't know anything about them so I can't tell you sorry...
