My 1st thread here!

Soo im looking right now for some lowering springs preferablly around a 2in drop, and ive been hearing good things about sportlines, soo those would be sweet, i highly doubt somebody has em for sale, buuut whatever, just thought id put it out there.

Also im looking for some struts/shocks to be matched with these springs. I am leaning towards KYB AGX's buuut not terribly interested in the price and would like to get away with gettin the GR-2's but have heard they would not be suffice for a 2in drop, soo eeehhh whatever. I have seen some Dropzone Spring and Strut combos on ebay that seem nice, buuut i have heard soo many mixed reviews about thse, i really dont know what to think soo those are an option as well. I guess if you have any susupension parts for the 5th gen, post em up, b/c there is a good chance im interested:thumbup:

i personally have just the dropzone springs with stock shocks & struts, to me its a great ride and feels like stock just lower, but however you will need to get a camber kit, for any suspension mod, or you will eat the inside of your tires like i did mine with out knowing about camber, i will be buying a full coil over system eventually but i needed it dropped quick cuz it looked like shit with my 17" rims with 205/40/17 tires... the gap was way to big between the tires and the fender, i would suggest going with the full coilover because sometime soon im sure i will blow my struts/shocks out and have to buy the full coil over set hope this helps you ******edit and it gave me the perfect drop something like 2" in the front and 2.25" in the rear im not sure but it looks good i should take a pic... who stole my fu**ing digi cam

aw dude, well thats fucking great to hear, the last person i talked to about Dropzone springs said that they are definetly the best bang for your buck, and that they actually ride pretty good........BUUUUT everybody before him that i had talked to about dropzone springs talked nothing but shit about em, ssoo i thats why i have been rather skeptical. Well dude if they really are a fine ride then i might go with those n put the money in the struts. thanks alot!
