dropzone spring ?

I was wondering if anyone else who has purchased and installed DropZone 1.8 drop springs, did yours drop the rear drastically and a very minimal drop in the front? Possibly becouse they are for the I-4 and the 6er, perhaps the weight difference caused this?

i have these on my 92 v6

the drop is nice

its dropped so that the front ground clearance is abit less then the back and thats with a 70lb system in the back...


but everyone else says dropzones drop the rear more the the front which is true because stock springs hold the rear up higher then the fronts... DZ even it out abit

its all preception, another thing ppl didnt like with DZ is they got a larger fender gap in the fron then the rear but thats because the fender in the back is lower like on BMW's ...

measuring from the bottom of my doors(where the paint meets the rubber thing) i get a 1/4 inch difference from front compared to the back (more on the back of course)... i like the drop alot ...

going over bumps isnt fun though 1.8 drop only leaves you with about 4 inch ground clearance (measured from frame rails)

it seem to be much more of a difference, but obviously you've been workin on your car and been around it more to notice these things,

also, with these springs, do you hear a popping from the rear suspension? it is the only change suspensionwise i've made and i never noticed the popping noise until after the spring change...

i had dropzones for my rear but took them off because it sagged way too much.

to me these are just cheap springs that will eventually sag all the way. even the front.
