I am on a very tight budget for my 3gen lxi.I was wondering if coilover from Dropzone were any good.The stock springs on my ride have been cut and my ride is very soft w/very little travel.Should I just keep the cut springs and get stiffer shocks or change my suspension all together?

These are one of the first 5 posts in the same section u posted ur thread in, the suspension section.

People like Dropzones, but opinions change. I do not like coilovers, but a lot of people love em. I love Konis, but a lot of people cant afford it so they go with tokikos and KYBs. One thing to do is, ask yourself what u wanna do with ur suspension. Do u wanna just lower it, race with it, go autocross with it or just have a good firm ride. ONce u asked urself the needs u have, research ur needs with those threads and pm-ing Jim .

Dont cut ur springs, u know it and everyone knows it. Its a key to get urself flamed and looked down on. Thise forum has evolved to a much greater standards than i ever thought of in the past 2 years.

IMO, loose ur cut coils and ur struts and get new ones for both.

i have dropzones and they are very stiff. if u do not want to race autocross, dont get them, u bounce for every litttle bump.
