    How the hell you guys deal with Coilovers??

    How do you guys with coilovers put yp with doing city driving with these things on a daily driver?? I just installed my drop zone coilovers (fronts only) today to even out my drop but since I've never own a car thats lowered on coilvers so I never knew how "bouncy" bouncy is!! Its oks at faster speeds but slower speeds is crazzzy! I love the drop (and - camber ) but the ride is atleast 5x worst than the spring I had in the front. I'm gonna ride it out the week to see if I can get use to it. I might just cut a dead coil(yes, I know..already did my research so no comment is needed on this) off my existing lowering springs and slapped them back on, cant be any worst that these dropzones. I knew it would bounce but i cant imagine the people riding on the cheaper coilovers driving in the city evryday with them

          the only sleeve-over coilovers i've ever thought were decent were Ground Controls. I have Matrix coilvoers over KYB-GR-2's and i can't stand it either, but i cant justify $1000 on suspension for my sub- $5000 car lol. eventually, you get used to it, but i wish i was loaded and could get what i really want.

          if you wanna appreciate your setup, get some Bomz ebay coilovers and ride those for a week, then swap back to your dropzones lol. you'll appreciate them more.

              I feel you....I was thinking about that too, if my rides i so far from my springs how the hell people ride and cheaper coilovers(egay shit).

                Thats sound like something I might be looking into...I need a nice low drop with good handling/ride with spending major bookoos.

                  really? I never even consider those but it comes down to preference tho.

                    whats up dean
                    I feel your pain, i have those egay coilovers and it rides like crap.

                    just bought GC coilovers,but they are not installed yet.

                    hopefully ride quality will improve 10x better than the crap i have on now.

                        I've been on Ground Controls with Tokico Blues for the past 7 years and they still feel good.

                              Definitely go with the Cup Kit or Omnis. At the very least get Illuminas.
