    are these the right sleeves?

    hey guys, i purchased these dropzone coilover sleeves. im wondering if they are the right ones. they seem a little too small to fit on the struts. the part number on them are 8008 which are for my 98 corolla. any help is appreciated.

    Dude.........no. Coil overs or Lowering Springs with brand new struts. Lots of decent and Cheap coil overs out there. Return them, buy coil overs. You have to modify your stock struts to use these and your car will bounce and ride like poop.

    drop zone is the worst company out there, i have had a TERRIBLE experience with them, i think the rears actially lower the car, but the fronts RAISE it, even on the lowest settings.

    Better way, but still cheap? H&R Sport springs. Been on 'em for 3 years, and love the mild drop but firmed ride.

    I found out afterwards that they suck. They were bought but it was a bitch to get them shipped, that's what the problem was.
