    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!
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

    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.
