    no(look for 93-02, not 03+), and you don't want Dropzone coilovers in the first place. if you want coilovers, save up a bit more. Dropzone is known for mediocre products.

    Dropzones are good compared to what? Sure, theyre good compared to cut springs, lol

    Ask that same member what other coilovers theyve had on their car to compare them to......lol

    after seeing half the j-body community go through them and get rid of them, i'd be inclined to disagree. do research on suspension products before buying them...DZ stuff is mediocre.

    Which set is that? Ive never seen a 400-500 dollar set of dropzones. These are only 140 [IMG]

    Are there really TRUE Dropzone coilovers? Even if they are true coilovers, 400 for them is stupid cheap.

    talking about money, you get what you pay for. mostly. ;) unless you are like me and pounce on great deals. then you get a lot more than what you pay for. yeah, that's about right.

    If you want some good coilovers I'd look at Tein or JIC Magic

    both make very good products but you're looking at more than $400

    I would recommend Tein, but that is way more expensive than what you initially considered
