    the racing springs and struts are are mad by drope zone. the struts are gas filled. it's a 2.5 drop in front and 2.25 drop in the back. when i do drop i am getting everything that you need to get to drop a car right. i mean everything. camber kits, swaybars, tie bars, cross arms, etc.etc.
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    I don't think drop zone and racing go together...lol.. you seem to be confused on what is what. coilover means coiled springs over a strut or shock, so yes, your stock suspension is a coilover suspension. but nowadays when people say "coilover" they either mean a shock+coiled springs+adjustable height perch OR springs+adjustable height perch (ground control, etc. I'm guessing this is what you think coilovers are).
    The "racing springs and struts" by dropzone are probably just shocks/struts with springs already mounted on them, it is the same as if you bought regular springs and shocks/struts separately and mounted them yourself.

    With that said I tihnk you are seriously misinformed/uninformed about suspensions, and it'd probably be best for you if you read more/learned more before you bought anything, buying random parts (and BAD random parts at that.. drop zone...lol) will probably make your car handle worse.

    finally, I said it 100x before and I'll sya it again, the BIGGEST handling upgrade is better tires (assuming you can drive to the tire's limit, which you probably can't), and no, kumho 712s aren't good tires.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA
