Ordered me a pair of Tein H Tech springs to replace my Dropzones. I was not feeling too comfortable with the fit of thr DZ springs and decided to replace with Tein H Techs. Well when I went to put them on I noticed that 3 out of four DZ springs had not sat in the perches properly and as a matter of fact 1 of the front springs had jumped the perch on the top of the strut. I put both the Tein and the DZ spring on the table next to each other and the DZ couldnt even stand up on its own. The fit in the perches with the Tein was far far superior than the DZ it's not even funny. WARNING stay away from Dropzone Springs they SUCK.

Did you happen to take any pictures of the two springs on the table together?

I like the Hotchkis springs as well. They have the same ride quality as stock, but definetely improve handling.

Nice review, I suppose it's a hit and miss since there's a few running DZ springs without any problems.

TEIN
Hotchkis
Tanabe
I have experience with two out of three, but I have never seen or heard of a bad TEIN coilover or springs story. I also heard to stay away from JIC, their quality is not too bad but it's the service such from the company that are somewhat downhill.
