Looking for DropZone Spring users
Looking for DropZone Spring users
I know theres at least one user on here with DZ springs, I am on a tight budget and these are in my budget for springs. However I would like to see some photos of 09 fits with these springs, rims or factory doesnt matter I want to see some good close up or side shots that show the drop amount.
Also if you could tell me how your ride is now that you have used these.
Thanks

I posted these pics in the https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-generation-ge-08-present/42027-ge8-lowered-thread-post-your-pics-21.html thread.




The springs arrived in fine condition but they were labeled backwards. It took me a little time to realize this and almost reinstalled the original spring before trying the spring labeled "R" on the front
. After that it was smooth sailing. You need to cut down the bump stops which I did with a box cutter (there is a very good DIY on this install). I like the look but do wish the rear would drop a little more. It has a more front down aggressive look to it the way it stands and could afford to drop at least another 1/2" in the rear to be perfect. Maybe it's just me. As for the ride, it is a little rougher especially on roads that are under contruction (NY is always rebuilding) but little noticable on smooth pavement. I am very happy with the improved handling. The springs are a bit stiffer and have less body roll. I'm waiting for a rear sway bar and I'm assuming this will only add to my enjoyment. New rims and tires would probably double it.
To answer your question... I see no reason to fear these springs for the money. The best thing that you can do is install Coil overs but you are here like I looking for a cheaper alternative. My one concern is how long will the stock shocks hold up. For the price, little install time and effort = no brainer.

Ok so I purchased them and the seller sent me ones labeled DZSP1001, according to everything I can find these are NOT for the FIT. The seller is insisting they are just mismarked and will work fine. I am going to call DropZone and find out from them, but does anyone have the model number of their springs handy? I know what DZ says the model should be just curious if anyone can tell me what their model # on their springs is.
Thanks

my fit is my first lowered car so I can't necessarily compare these springs with others but they make a significant difference in reducing body roll and give you a decent drop that's a little higher in the back. I will say that the springs in the rear are short enough to drop out if you jack your car up but they're really easy to put back in. Can't beat that price for what you get from these
i myself wanna know this? how have these springs panned out for people that have used them, and whats the correct model numbers for fits? for both fits??
