Anyone try DROPZONE springs yet?

Was just wondering if anyone tried the DROPZONE springs that started appearing on ebay lately you can chk them out here

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1860324511

or at http://www.ketronsales.com/

I'm currently riding on INTRAX and 17" Konig Tantrums 225/45/17 in the front and 235/45/17 in the back was thinking about changing my springs and wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks.

Its just that I don't think they drop evenly the front looks like it dropped about an inch or so while the back i can barley stick my hand all the way in the wheel gap. I'm even thinking about going back to stock for a bit. Also the 235/45/17 in the back when i hit a really bad bump or waves in the road it feels like its rubbing so I don't wanna ruin the tires. Right now just want an even drop nothing to major or its back to stock till spring/summer. Thanks.

I don't know how it's like for everybody else, but with my gen3, the back was always lower than the front, and it always bugged me a bit, even tho it looked fine. Then, I took the spare out of my trunk, and the back rose a bit, and it looks more even now....if I took my usbs out and everything, then I think the wheel well gap may even be the same....but I dunno....?

how about hte other gen3's out htere? how did yours drop? I have eibachs...

My rear never settled. So i currently have 200 lbs back there, and it evened things out. I am going to take that out sooner or later.

Yeah, just keep your Intrax springs on there. A 1.8" drop isn't much different than the 1.75" drop.

i have dropzone springs in my camry. there not bad at all... compared to my bro's integra with eibach's mines actually smoother and im still usings factory sturts. i also have a bigger gap in the front but thats just the fender gap the front of my car is actually lower than the rear by about 1/2 an inch

ive had these in for about a week now an im thinking of cutting the front just a bit to even the gap abit. my questions is how long does it take springs to settle and by how much do they normally. cause i dont wanna cut it and then have them settle even lower.
