    Titanium adjustable coilovers?

    I found these on Ebay. As far as I can see they are Dropzones but they are much nicer looking. Has anybody heard of these before?

    I'm pretty sure the ride will be the same as the Dropzones, I just didn't know about the name.

    So Justin, I should be installing these Friday. One more time about putting the backs in the front and vice versa? Still a go for that?

    As long as the springs are the same height it will work perfectly. If the rear springs are a little taller it still might work but it will be a little harder to adjust the height. But the rear springs will sag about a 1/2" being in the front so take that into consideration.

    I have the coilovers on my car. Front spring rate is 450, 350 rear. They are pretty good, solved alot of the body roll problem. Pretty easy to install too...on dislike is that it dosent lower all the way down to 3 inches...ohh well, ohh and they arent Dropzones, they are Racer Design, they have a website...youll need to go there for instructions because they dont come with them

    www.racerdesign.com

    if i can help let me know!

    Well that is bull they don't go lower then 3". I have been able to take my dropzones to the under 4" with my drifters set-up. Well on the site they say only for 90+ accords. Can you give me the heights of the springs and if the fronts are taller then the front like on the 90+ accords. I might be able to get you more drop and welcome to the board.

    Thanks for the offer. I recently had to raise them back up because with the high spring rates the ride was sucking being lowered. At stock height they rock though. I just dont have the money for Koni's or revalving Bilsteins. Another reason is that im a really big fan of rally cars so i want to leave the stock height but reap the benefits of stiffer suspension. SO...im keeping it at the stock heigth and purchasing Bilstein HD's. I also modified some polyurathane bushings to fit on my sway bars, im really stoked now cause i have almost NO body roll, and i havent even started the fabrication on the 4 point strut tower bar, once thats on im sure the guys at Ferrari will be jealous.
