Ive been looking around and have dound a Dropzone dealer on ebay selling the struts/ coilovers for $300.00 total w/shipping. Is Dropzone a decent brand? Heard of em but never heard good or bad things. I could go with tokico for $100.00 more but If Dropzone is a decent brand Id go that direction. Im looking for a harder sporty spring, No soft boat feel when I drive. Let me know what you guys think I should do.

I have a 95 coupe. It doesnt sound like they have great product so I guess I will just lean towards getting tokico.. Is there any websites anybody can recommend besides Ebay for me to get them from? Nopi.com is pretty decent priced, Last time I asked you guys about my brakes Aaron found me the best deal... Drop 02. cents in if anybody knows of any sites to order from.

$418.00 Is the total from ebay... But I dont even know what the spring rate for the drop is on them because its not listed in the ad..tryed to email him but nothing yet. The tokico set is a spring set not coilovers.

Tokico springs are rebadged Eibach springs. Your looking at about 1.8 drop. By the way, I have the same setup in my pic to give you an idea. Your car will look about stock with 2-3 fingers gap from finder.

but the drop is different because his car is a fifth gen. My 6th gen has eibach sports line and it's 1.9" all the way around 1 finger gap in front and 1/2 finger gap in the back with my 17's. My boy has a 5th gen with eibach sports line springs and it's only 1.7" all around. Buit i have KYB GR-2 shocks

Either way eibach springs are great. If you don't want to be real low go with the prokit. sportsline is more stiff and the ride is harder but it's really tight.

The prokit? where can I find it? The only 4 spring, 4 strut setup i found so far is by tokico. Id like a 1.5 drop to maybe a 1.7 at the most. I just put a CTR lip on and Im painting some skirts and a rear lip to go on the car. Im already about.... roughly a little less than 6 inches from the floor due to my front lip. If I dont want to scrape I should keep with the 1.5 correct?

Will I have enough ground clearence with my CTR lip? 4 inches off the floor isn't much room. Because 1.5 should end up to be 1.7 after wearing the compression in the spring down.. Should I be ok?

Well the prokit and sportsline kit are just springs you need to order shocks seperatly. And just an FYI Eibach springs DO NOT settle they are pre-settled so a 1.7" drop will stay a 1.7" drop. Personally when buying a srping/shock set up it's just like buying a turbo kit. Most of the time your better off parting it together then buying it in the same setup unless you are putting out much cahs. I got my shocks for 200 and my srring for and 200. And it's a prett great ride. Granted i should have went with the AGX shock for the extra money but i'm still more then happy with what i have? what size rims are you riding on? Wthis will make a major difference on how low you are?

This will give you a idea this is my car with GR-2's and sportsline 1.9" drop with 17's and a wings west type -w lip. Now just to let you know this lip really doesn't added any lowerness only the thinkness of the lip so i'd say about 1/8 - 1/4 inch.
