My springs on my car need replacing I was going to buy some Drop Zone lowering springs. They drop the car 1.75 inches front and 1.5 inches rear. I assume they are not going to be as good as the Eibach lowering springs. But they are half the price; I just want to know if you guys think they are crap or worth getting?

Hey, I take it noone ever answered you about the Dropzone springs? I did a search and come up with this. I know it is really old but I was wondering the same thing. Did you get them?

 

I hear they tend to sag over time.

 

dont all springs eventually sag?

 

Technically yes but some do it much faster than others.

 

I wonder if anyone knows the diameter of the springs compared to say Eibach. That should be a factor in determining the springs' durability.

 

I'm not fully able to give an opinion on them because i need new shocks/struts, so that has to be taken into consideration.....

But they did lower my car enough....I just wish they were a bit stiffer

 

Stiffer?! what are you talking about....I have them and they are stiff enough for me. Mine have not sagged in the 1.5 years that I have had them. You wont get the advertised drop though...atleast I didnt.

 

you can see the gap in this picture. crappy pic but oh well.

 

looks good to me I think ill get some if they are decent. the price is right.

 

They lowered my car quite a bit, I didnt measure but it was about 2 inches. They are incredibly stiff. Cant beat the price tho. I had Eibachs on my first Z and they rode very nice.

 

how far from the ground measured in inches is your front lip spoiler?

 

I just went out and measured,,,,,at the point in the middle of the front spoiler its 7.75 inches from the garage floor.

Whats yours?

 

dont have the exact number but im estimating a tad under 6.5 inches,92 rs 235/50 16

springs are unknown..

 

Mine measured just above 8 inches. I think it should be more like 8.5 though if the nose brace was in place. My car has the stock suspension and hasn't been lowered at all. It has 215/65/15's. The front of my car looks like someone has punched it in the nose without the brace underneath.

 

i just got new tires and did the actual measurement and it is 7.5 inches...strange....

 

I got 1 inch drop in the back and 3/4 inch drop in the front compared to my stock springs. I took measurements before I installed them way back when.. They are fine with me, any lower and my Y-pipe and SFC's would probably hit when I went over speed bumps....so its cool with me!
