Dropzone Springs?
 
Has anyone ever heard or used Dropzone lowering springs before? From what i have read, it's either "loving them" or "hate them." The springs lower the vehicle 2inches up front and 1.6 on the rear, however i assume they will lower more once they settle in. :uh:

Never heard of them and I do tend to get around. :p After a quick Google though, I'd never touch them. When people recommend you buy new exhaust components, talk of the amazing ever increasing drop magic (see: sag like a bitch) and the fact that they cost $60 to $100 for most models I tend to disbelieve any claims about quality.

Keep in mind that any significant drop will (typically) require new dampers.

I see, what if i get some Eibach or H&R springs can i run them with my currently installed KYB Gr-2 without problems?

It all depends on what you're looking for. The H&R are a more level drop and the Eibach's give a slight raked stance (the rear sits a tiny bit higher... it's really just for looks on vehicles without a solid rear axle). I believe both are progressive rate springs; I know the Eibach's are. If you want firm with still fairly comfortable road feel, progressive is the way to go; If you want a rigid feel which doesn't change in dampening despite the intensity of the load, then linear rate springs are the way to go.

The KYB GR-2's will work fine with the Eibachs (ran that setup for a couple years and really liked it) and it should be just fine with the H&R; Anything with a greater drop than those though and I'd start looking at real performance dampers. If you're looking for a linear rate spring, ST are a very popular choice. They used to have a lot of issues with sagging, but I've hear that they've improved on that.
