which coil overs are better? you can speak from experience or what you heard about them i just need a little feedbacks cause i'm gonna make a purchase on either one of these brands soon...i know there are better ones like TEIN and Skunk2's but those are out of my budget...also shocks! KYB anygood or are they just OEM stnadards?

I'd say Tom's are better. Dropzone is the mainstream ebay stuff.

Save up for the good stuff (don't forget JIC) cuz nuthin's worse than spending a bit less and seeing your car bounce after bumps. Get the same shcoks as the manufacturer of the coilovers, that should help with any bouncing etc.

I've been selling both of those springs as entry level otions for a couple years now. They both provide a decent ride, much better than toucan or APC coils.
I would have to say that the drop Zone is the better of the two. They are progressive rate, and ride great on the street. I even have a set on one of my cars. They are red ceramic coated and come with a lifetime warrenty.

A lot of people like these coils because they are designed like Ground control coils, which are considered one of the best.

KYBs are great shocks. I have some AGX's on my car. 4way adjustable in the front and 8 way in the rear! :eek:

I have toms in my 96 Si coupe and it's fairly low. It does not bounce at all. I am quite happy with Toms.
