kyb??

im getting dropzone springs in a week or two and i was wondering if KYB shocks and struts are good for lowering springs. i know not all springs are good for that and ive heard good things about KYB. is anyone running them w/ dropzones or any other lowering springs?

from what I've read about lowering springs, get adjustable replacement shcks/struts. help keep from bottoming out.

I don't have my car lowered, but I do have KYBs. They are a bit on the soft side.

I got the dropzone springs from ebay !

Definitly made a difference on my 180,000mile bird.

you will need the internal spring compressor to install the springs properly to obtain the proper riding height on both sides.

there's 2 holes, you the ends of the coils to stop half way over the 2nd hole.

theres some ppl saying that you "fug up your geometry" if you lower but I dont know what that's all about.

Im sure the kybs would be nicer than my replaced stock shocks and struts.
