I'd like to know what people think of these before I go purchasing a set.

I only have the rears in (*STILL!!!!*) but I like those so far. The fronts are hopefully going to get installed tomorrow night, but who knows. I'm getting sick of the front of my car looking like a 4x4 with the rear lowered.

Make sure to buy an adjustable PHB for these springs. I'd definitely say it is needed on these. I can hear my tires scraping when I make sharp quick right turns.

I have yet to hear any long term opinions on these springs. People tend to like them at first because they get the visual appeal that they were hoping for. I think in the long run poeple with these springs become upset and wish they had abided by the old saying you get what you pay for.

Excellent. You are one of few who reports back after a few years with these springs.

depends on your budget, if you dont have a whole lot, go w/ dropzones, i can speak from experience, you wont be dissappointed. i went w/ KYBs cause they were a good price and i have heard good things about them. im very happy w/ the setup i went with. sure it can be better, but you can always have better. for a budget, you wont be dissappointed in that setup.

If you're going to save up some extra money, just go with better shocks/struts. The dropzone springs are nice springs and are $150 cheaper than Eibachs. That extra $150 could be spent on a better shock/strut package that would make a more noticeable difference. The Dropzone springs are on par with the Sportlines in terms of drop, so if you go with Bilsteins, go with the "Sport" shocks.
