Coilovers? you mean springs.
Stupid Dropzone marketing crap, they call their springs coilovers.

they are coilovers...they have the adjustable sleeve and 2 wrenchs came with the coilovers..I was able to adjust from 0-2 inces not 0-4....from only lowered car 1.3 inces and back 2 inchs.....really bad quality and they started to rust like a mo'fo....i bought them off ebay for 85 plus shippin..just dont buy dropzone coilovers...u will like the drop but not the ride quality..

They ARE NOT coilovers, these are adjustable height springs:

not coilovers, true coilovers are the strut/spring assembly.
And new you wont find true coilovers for less than $900

I have "sleves" on mine.... i think they were well worth it. Yeah it is bouncy, but thats from the front bottoming out on the bumpstops. Then again, i have the arospeed brand.

When and where did you get your Arospeed sleeves from? Those were the very first suspension mod I did to my first neon, before I knew anything about anything for my car. I hated them.....but the roads in MO are horrible. On a smooth road they weren't too bad. Still bouncier than real springs though.

I to think dropzone coil overs are junk. my sleeves locked up. Made them trade me out for regular lowering springs. The ride is good for lowered springs on stock struts. ride height is right where i want it. I Like Mine.

lol, everyone always argues over true coilovers being better then the sleeve coilovers. It all depends on the strut you are using, the spring rate you want, and how much you want to be lowered. Just because you have a true coilover, doesn't mean you can't have a coilover sleeve application that is just as good or better.
The only difference between the two is that the true coilovers are threaded right into the housing. The coilover sleeves on the other hand go over the housing. The principle is EXACTLY the same here.
The two things you need to be concerned about are that no one seems to mention is 1) spring rates and 2) strut quality.
My Koni struts can handle stiffer spring rates and lower drops then any "true coilover" for our cars.
If you have the right struts, and the right coilovers /w proper spring rates, itg will ride and last longer then a "true coilover" system. Or at least the ones that are available for our cars that is.
