Dropzone springs??

ok, I searched about this and everyone says that the coilovers are crap. Well theye are 50 dollars lowering springs that claim like magic. I want to run dropzone springs with kyb agx shocks. Any springs should be fine with kyb agx right?

What we mean by "coilovers" being crap, we're referring to the $30 "super shiny silver with blue springs" kind you find on Ebay. Those aren't made specifically for the 240 - they're universal. In other words, if you bought a set from the same manufacturer for a Honda, chances are you wouldn't tell the difference.

The KYB AGX shocks are a good choice. Those are proven, no question there.

As for Dropzone springs, people say they are crap. Some say they sag, some say they're bouncy as hell... you may be on a budget. If so, do yourself good and save up a few more bucks. Grab those AGX's and pair them up with a nice, proven set of Whiteline or Eibach springs. A lot fo people run the AGX/Whiteline combo, and if you search the forums you'll find nothing but praise. Same with the Eibachs, but not as many people as Whiteline (from what I've read).

Don't know about the spring rates... but if they're bouncy like people say they are, then don't expect "mad drift performance" or anything like that.

you could always use the kyb gr-2 shocks to save a few bucks and get better springs. that would probably be better than the cheap spring with good shocks.

GR-2's are designed as OEM upgrade, but if you use springs lower than 1.5 they won't perofrm as intended. They're like Tokico Blues.
