    dropzones are crap, go with eibach or tein springs and some kyb struts or tokicos for a cheap route.

    Dropzones suck and for a reason. They wouldn't be that cheap otherwise. The Zep Racing coilovers are 4000 bucks for a reason too. :) However, to everyone their own. In my book, the suspension setup is something worth spending the money on. If you just want looks, go cheap. If you want performance and handling, save up.

    We all learn from our previous mistakes. Let him do as he wishes. Money can be a big issue for us all. :)

    they'll probably just ignore you when you try to file a warranty claim... their website has a bunch of red X'es where pictures are supposed to be and the "suspension" link doesn't even work.. I don't trust that company at all!

    $320 shipped for struts. I overpaid for my springs, got them off a guy last year for $180-$200 shipped.

    I think you got your part numbers wrong on the tokicos. I used these part numbers and when we went to install my struts, the left part number you wrote was for the right side, and the right side part number was for the left side lol. At least for the fronts that is, I'll be doing the rears today.

    Vogtlands arent that good. My friend has them and he says he regrets buying them.
