Here is mine. I'm lowered on the Tokico DSpec suspension package. Its an overall 1.6" drop. Just click on the pictures to enlarge them.

Just curious, why are you ditching the drop zones for the Koni Sport Kit?

The old dropzones are known to be flaming piles of crap, with spring rates out of the ballpark compared to what should be on our cars; and cheap metal that sags over time (more than what is generally acceptable). I've heard recently that they've changed. I find this hard to beleive, since they cater to the "I'm too cheap to do it right, so I'll just do whatever's cheapest" croud.

First four are how I have it now. Not the greatest pics, but they'll do!









This was when the rear was lower. Don't mind the TP, it was for a good reason!


Car is on RKSport Pro-Streets. Front is set pretty low, rear is set pretty high (except in last pic)

well i am getting rid of the drop zones because first i just did the spring with stock shocks and it was naturally really bouncy, they have been on for over a year but i am sure the shocks have pretty much no life in them left, so i figured id swap the whole setup to koni. i cant complain about the drop zone springs, belive it or not they didnt sag, and they seem to be decient quality, but again i did it wrong and didnt change out the shocks and now just want to do it right.

Wait a second...Don't mean to jack this, but aren't cut and heated springs on our cars bad for us? Let alone the drop on stock struts? Thought you had air??

I'm with Spork on the Sprints. He's the one that helped me decide on them. They're advertised 1.8" but they're actually a shade over 2" all around. Decent spring, though.

I was going to let that slide since I'm not a suspension guru, but isn't Bagged the one that tells us how BAD cutting and heating springs is? On ANY car? The Unquoteable One disappoints me.
