Lower your car and smooth ride don't occur at the same time. I've never heard of anyone using dropzone coilovers and I can't even find a manufacturers website. My guess is that their quality will be like ractive. They're probably ****ty and have a low spring rate. I always suggest to get performance shocks/struts whenever you lower a car. I've shocks blown as soon as the car is taken off the hoist. I could be wrong about dropzone coilovers, but you get what you pay for.
I would tell you that If you want it lowered some and to help kill some of the gap from the wheel well jsut get some springs that will lower it 1.5" or so. They will be stiffer but it wont be as bad as say it being slammed.

yup, stick with springs if you want a 'smooth good clean' ride. dropzones will be bouncy, as will any coilover setup with stock shocks. your best bet is probably the intrax springs with a 1.75" drop, stock-like ride and low enough to kill any significant wheel-gap.
ya im buying springs in about a week, do i need to get shocks, i know this question is asked alott sorry im askn it again, but um, im not sure wether to go with intrax, or eibach sportlines. if i get intrax, will i need to get a camber kit, and shocks? i just think a 1.75 drop sounds a little nicer than 1.50. thanks guys
alright so a 1.75 drop all the way around now i should also probably change you struts right they are probably bad after 150k on the car... so springs and struts they give you the best ride then? coil overs would be bouncy and not fun? this is what i am getting am i close >smile.gif>
