Body Kits:
As far as the pricing is concerned...for the full kits...not badly priced at all...($450.00)... but I'm thinking the prices on the single pieces (rear bumpers = $299.00) is a bit pricey...I'm not big on body kits and what not but it seems pricey to me...Plus they have kits (ex. Blitz) that I haven't seen on other sites....that's a plus....
Wonder if it's all Fiberglass or Polyurethane
Exhausts:
Never heard of PowerTech...couldn't give you much on this...I’ve got the Greddy Evo...
Headers:
Same as Exhausts
I've Got DC Sports....
Hoods:
Seem pricey but haven't been pricing them out anywhere else...
Intakes:
Never heard of OBX but the pricing is about the same for non-name brand stuff....
Suspension:
Coil-Overs seem pretty reasonable but haven't heard anything about DropZone.
Same with the lowering springs....

Hope this helps a bit but it would be good to hear from someone who's actually bought something from them....

OBX is shit, its the same as all that other generic crap, arospeed, ractive, apc, etc.

Dropzone is OK. Ive talked to people who have really liked them and some who have hated them, personally, I would try to stay away from them, but theyre not horrible.

As for the site, it looks like a legit site, but I havent bought anything from them so I couldnt tell you for sure.

If I were you, I wouldnt buy those. Yes, they seem VERY intriguing because of the price, I know, Ive been in that same situation before, but you really do get what you pay for when it comes to suspension. Not only are coilover sleeves known to be crap, but Dropzones are in the middle to low end of the spectrum for coilover sleeves, which means they will have very high spring rates and blow your shocks out in no time. I say save an extra $50, get some good lowering springs, Tein, Eibach, H&R, Skunk2, are all very good brands, and should run you between 150-200 if you shop around.

Well I would still advise against the coilover sleeves, but if youre set on them, some good brands are skunk2 and ground control.

You will not be satisfied with those, I guarantee it. If you really dont wanna spend a lot of money and absolutely HAVE TO have coilovers, and you can not have springs, you can go cheap and get dropzones. They are not the best, but not terrible, but I still think you would be MUCH happier with a good set of non-adjustable springs.

with 99civic03 ...
You will not be satisfied if you go w/a lesser quality product and it is true w/performane products...you do get what you pay for...especially with suspension products....now if you were talking about intakes and exhaust's...you might be able to go w/a lesser priced and quality product...but we're talking what your car will be sitting on....
