what kind of shocks and struts when im riding on 18s? To include, im racing also.
Whats a good company to go with, with some good prices?
check out the group purchase forum....995.00 you can get the gravana coilover/strut setup, looks to be the best setup so far for cavaliers
What kind of racing do you do? and how much do you plan to spend?
hey I just (yesterday) put on dropzone spring on kyb struts and shocks and it rides better than stock and I got the springs of ebay for 100$ and the struts and shocks for 240$ for a total of around 340$ (obviously). If you decide to go with this I can get you the company where I got the gas shocks and struts from! Somewhere in california. I hope this helps

give it time....they'll be blown soon.
anything is rides good when its new.
for starters, kybs are only warrantied for 1.5 inches and NO MORE.....
2) dropzone springs are those cheap ebay ones.... higher spring rates and lower than 1.5 inches, and known to sag upwards of 2 and 1/4 inches....
theres a reason kyb has that warranty.
its kinda like when a chair is rated for 300 lbs.... its so people who weigh 400lbs dont sit in it and break it, cause its not rated for that much...same with the struts.
give it time.... you;ll see

I HATE TO TELL YOU BUT DROPZONE SPRING MAY BE CHEAP BUT IM HERE TO TELL YOU THEY ARE NOT CHEAP SPRINGS. I DO AGREE THEY DO NOT COMPETE WITH BRANDS LIKE MATRIX, RK SPORT, EIBACH.......BRANDS LIKE THOSE AND REALLY TO LOOK FOR LOWERING SPRINGS ON EBAY......THEY ALL ARE ABOUT THE SAME PRICE AND THESE BRANDS INCLUDE DROPZONE, AROSPEED, TEIN, AND A FEW OTHERS, NOT TO MENTION THESE ARE ALL AROUND 110-140. THE ONLY CHEAPIES ARE THE OFF BRAND COIL-OVER SUSPENSION SETUPS YOU CAN BY AND THOSE RUN AS LITTLE AS 23.99+SHIPPING. www.dropzonesuspension.com
WILL EXPLAIN THERE TECHNOLOGY A LITTLE BETTER BUT HERE IS A LITTLE PARAGRAPH FOR YOU TO READ FROM THEM.............
drop-zone springs are true performance lowering springs, not just a shorter stock spring. They are designed the way performance springs should be, with the correct spring rate and ride height for each specific application.
Lowering vehicles from 2.0" - 2.5", according to vehicle specifications, providing race car looks with handling to match. All our kits are made with the same quality material and design standards used with our lowering sport springs kits. Also designed to be used with Our sport shock absorbers. Minor modifications or camber kits may be required. All our springs carry an ISO 9001 standardization and are TUV approved.
Cordaro Sadder, basically cheap springs will tend to have a rougher ride immediately even with a brand new suspension, although again for the price of dropzone springs (not coilover) and ride quality dropzone is a good choice. Let me add again very good ride quality, i know from experience from friends who have had dropzone springs on their car for over two years and still rides like new. Again I hope this helps

please do not compare tein to dropzone
DROPZONE SPRINGS ARE GARBAGE
I be likeing my TEiN's .....good stuff
i'd suggest konis (reds or yellows), kyb agx's, or tokicos depending on what kind of drop you are looking for. all offer damping adjustability which will allow you to dial in your setup for track, daily driving, etc...

AGX and PROKIT...... 1,000 X better
