Hey, I'm sure its been covered a hundred times but I've searched and heard different things, so as long as we're here, just where exactly can I buy dropzone springs? One inch lower in just fine.

Oh, and does anybody know if they are a progressive rate spring? And if not, are they plenty stiff? I'm not too worried about a "plush" ride quality. If I wanted my camaro to ride like caddy, I'd have bought one.

go to www.dropzonesuspension.com they have the springs for our V6s, ive had them for over 2 years. its a 1.50" drop. theyre great springs, you do need shocks and struts w/ them.

Ok, by new shocks/struts do you mean I have to have ones that are made for the drop, or just new ones? Because I just put KYB AGX shocks and struts on it and really dont want to have turn around and but another set.


Thanks,
Max

those should be good. when i talked to dropzone about what ones to go with, they said any sort of a performance shock and strut. they can handle drop springs.

so what do you think about tokico? reason i ask is that they sell a package on ebay of struts and springs for $410 shipped that will lower 1.75 all around. sounded like a pretty good deal to me. but??
