all coilovers ride like junk, but those drop-zones are the best junk! i have skunk2's off a 88-00 civic and its low and bouncy;)

Ground Controls are the best we got, unless you want to get adventures and adapt some civic fullbodied coilovers.......

I have those dropzones you're looking at.... with tokico struts
the back rides ok, doesn't bounce.
But the front doesn't ride smoothly.. it bounces on the highway and over bumps. If at all possible... get some springs. Dropzone sells regular springs, ya know.

guys, it's not the spring that makes the car bounce, it's the strut's inability to control the spring that makes the car bounce...

the best coilovers we have are the GCs, with the skunk2 coilovers not too horribly far behind... they both have applications for our car, so fitting them shouldn't be a problem...

as for struts, the best off-the-shelf struts are konis, which are no longer made for out application... the next best thing is revalved bilstiens... plan on paying about $600 or so got a good set of struts... good struts are a MUST for a good ride and responsive handling...

springs hold the car up, struts control the movement of the car... oversimplified and not quite right, but that's about how it works and is a good way for a less experienced person to think of it when going out to buy his/her first suspension upgrades
