i'm going to switch my ride to coilovers soon and i was wondering what a good brand would be. i was going to go with ground controls, but then a friend told me about dropzones. he said that they were just as good a ground controls, but alot cheeper, so now i'm leaning towards those. i know that ground controls have a single locking perch, which is sopposed to be really easy to use. do the dropzones have this as well? thanks for any and all advice

dropzone isnt a no name brand but they arent known. i havent heard one bad story about ground control and i think they are the only ones with the single lock perch but im not sure. and they might be a little more money but the build quality is better. skunk2's are good too and might be cheaper then ground control. but if it were me, i dont buy shit cause its cheaper. i spend the extra money and get something that wont give me hassles and will peform better

Ground Control or Skunk2's are worth the lil extra mulah.:bandit:
Id go with them the single locking perch will make a set of coilovers last longer
no locked perchs = longer lasting coliovers

They are all the same. They all last long. I got a friend with some cheap ass maxspeed coilovers and another friend w/ skunk2's and the skunk2's get stuck and lock up more. I'd say go big and do it right and get Tien's or Buddyclub's. Full coil-over kits are the only way to go.

just to be clear i ment the ground controls had a single perch and wouldnt lock skunk2's have two perchs and would lock up and yeah full coilovers are the best if you can afford them

its Tein not tien. tien is a character from dragonball z:D
but anyways the Tein coilovers are awesome. adjustable for everything imaginable and perform awesome. but are very expensive in my eyes. i think a kit is like at least 1 grand.:eek:
