I just got a set of Dropzone coilover springs...and they look mighty small. they are about half a foot and smaller than my hand, and they are also narrow as heck. My friend got teins for his corolla and they were like a foot and a half long....Is it normal for these to be this short? I can imagine alot of rubbing taking place if i put them in. I compared those to pictures on the box and on the internet, but they were significantly smaller than those pictures (including the length of that metal piece on the bottom. As you can tell, this is my first time messing with lowering springs.
What you guys think?

cant see in the pic too well but they look like the coilover conversion kit right?? its just the spring, sleeve, orings and a couple grommets right?? anyway, there is a link im trying to find where someone does step by step install with pics on stock struts for his neon. i think they are small because the sleeve goes over the strut outer sleeve and sits on the perch. that way, it rises the spring high enough to hold on the top plate. i also know you need to cut your bump stops in half. ill try to find the site and post it for ya.

 

and another one falls to the POS ebay springs.... say GOODBYE to all of your struts.....

 

do yourself a favor and throw those in the garbage. They are not dropzone coilovers or springs for that matter, they are ebay knock off pieces of ****. DON'T INSTALL THEM

 

i'll be damned, they do say dropzone. I have dropzone springs in my srt and they are regular size, nothing like that

 

I was afraid about this...Oh well, I didn't really want to lower my car that bad anyways. The streets of New Orleans aren't that great either.

 

http://www.ae92gts.com/ae92gts_ut_gc1.html here is the link. i know its not for a dodge its for a toyota but its a really good write up. also, they test the performance after install so you know what to expect. your install is pretty much going to be identicle to this one. and the coilover sleeves they use are also ground control. hope this helps you.

 

i had some just like those when i first lowered my car, i think i kept them for about two seasons, and had to put all new struts and springs in my car... the ride is rough as hell and u will bottom out everytime u hit a pothole, or small bump in the road........ do urself a favor and buy a nice set of drop springs.... i love my eibach sportlines.... i just want to get the matching swaybars for them now

 

Where did you get those from?

 

I got these from someone who was clearing out their garage on eBay....Yeh I usually don't like getting stuff from ebay companies, but this guy was a normal person like you or me.
I got these for $30, while the website that they usually come from are $150. They both have the same product number though, which is DZ5007CO.
the link from ebay is:
