Suspension...

[tickleMYelmo]

Are these a set that would be worth the money... Seems like a good deal to me... I've heard of DropZones before... Let me know ASAP so I can grab them up...

And another dumb newbie question is, will these replace my stuts? Or do they work WITH my struts somehow...

a. no dont get them
b. they would replace your strut/shock

a. no dont get them.

may i know why?

[Pandemic]

Doesnt look like it. Those display just the spring, and the alloy ajuster. Those replace the springs on your stock struts/shocks, you have to just replace the spring. However there is more then just replacing springs when doing suspension. If i were in your spot, i would concentrate on getting everythiing else up to par (ball joints, tie rods, bushings etc...) Nothing is better then haing a car ready to be droped, rahter then droping it and everything going to hell.

Hope it helps.

EDIT:

If i were you, i would go with something like this

They are a bit more reputable and whatnot. Ground Control does alot of suspension stuff in the cheaper price range. After that there is the TIEN Series, those range from 600-4000 for a full strut set.

yeah they suck when they were know as drop zone but there very good now since they change there name to DZ sport should of ask me i sold my DZ sping and sturt for only 200

imo, Coil-overs under $500 are shit. Coil-overs are meant to outperform the best shock/coil combo's... that alone is about $600. BUT meh. I just think if you do something, you should do it right the first time.

good reply guys very helpful
just on a side note, i just like to get my suspension checked out every six months to see if everything is up to par, cuz man u dont wanna mess with a fautly suspension = trouble!! lol

Sometimes aftermarket ones are cheaper due to manufactuing in bulk. You have to remember, quality doesnt mean emptying your wallet... There is good stuff out there for decently cheap such as the Megan Racing product line, some of that stuff is really nice. Just about anything out there (except ebay shit) is better then stock imho.

[Pandemic]

depends on what you want to do. if you dont mind feeling like you're on a boat, get the cheap ebay stuff. Personally, I want a quality ride, superb handling and the comfort to drive for 8-10 hours straight.

megan is probably the lowest I would go price wise.

Ignoring that a "shock/coil combo" is in fact as much a coil-over as are 'coil-overs', I think typical aftermarket 'coil-overs' can only dream of being as good as the "best shock/coil combo's"...

[Pandemic]

coil overs are matched. shock/coil arent... though there are some (neuspeed sck) that are matched pretty well.
