don't buy one set of springs until you can get coilover, thats a waste of money. If you buy springs you'll need to get shocks as well or your suspension will be dead in months and your ride will go to hell. I personally haven't messed with dropzone springs, I just with what I know works best, eibachs.

If you're going to do it coilovers, stay stock until then, unless you got money burning in your pocket.

I have dropzones for my camaro,,, they are decent springs, I dunno about the 240 ones tho,,, but I guess if you just wanna sit a little lower for 70 bucks for awhile, then Id guess that they would suit you OK,

I have them on my S14... they're maybe 1/4 as good as Eibachs as far as ride quality... they're bouncy and ****ty. they're a complete waste of money. don't buy them.

I also got the sprints on my crx though I liked them and would recomend those but I have been lookin into the ground control coilovers although I have considered dropzone.

okay okay...so It wouldn't be a good idea to buy just the Eibach springs? Should I wait until I have enough money for the coilovers?

coil-overs are nice, but they are not worth the money.
