Eibach vs. Dropzone

My car needs new springs bad, so I've decided I might aswell drop it. I've narrowed my choices down to either Eibach or Dropzone. I've heard good things about both. But for $90 those Dropzone springs sure look good.

What do you guys think eibach or dropzone?

You get what you pay for. I have heard drop zones tend to sag over time. I have never heard a single bad thing about Eibachs.

The only bad things I hear about dropzones tend to come from people that don't own them.

People running dropzones never seem to have any complaints.

I geuss the same could be said for those who don't have Eibachs. You have rebuked nothing. I didn't buy Dropzones after reading about too many dissatisfied customers complaining about sagging over time. Nothing more nothing less.

I have drop zones on my car and the only thing I can say bad about them is that the rear springs are too short and make the car sit back. I corrected this with spring seats from pep boys that are an inch high for 20 bucks. The DropZones are alot cheaper than the Eibachs and are pretty easy to find on Ebay.

Do you have any pics of your car with the dropzones in?

My car with dropzone springs....

Personally, if you can afford them, I would go with something other then the DropZones, The springs aren't as stiff as i would like them to be, then again, I have stock shocks/struts, so the springs may respond better with a new upgraded suspension all the way around....
