Dropzone/Cosmo?

Well, I need a drop and I know that I have asked this before. But this time I really need your help, I honestly don't really care about the ride on the vehicle, just as long as it will not cause damage to my suspension/car. Shocks blowing are not my idea of suspension damage, I know I will have to replace those evetually anyways. On ebay there are some Cosmo racing coiloevers as well as some Dropzone coilovers, what do you guys think. Both kits are under 130.00. I know it is a cheap drop, but all I am concerned with is the safety of me and my vehicle. Any opinions would be nice, and please do not recomend the eibach sportlines/prokit.

Oh and correct me if I am wrong, but the parts would be from a 94-97 accord right?

safety will always be an issue with coilovers unless your willing to dish out the cash for a full coilover setup... at a bodyshop near my house i saw a honda that had torn the sleeves on 2 of the coilovers...( skunk2's) . so if your worried about safety more than anything i would do a full coilover setup... but i mean you can take a chance. i've had skunk 2's for two years and have never had a problem.... and also i know people with the $80 coilovers that dont have problems except for the really bumpy ride ....

what car the honda? i just think that the coilovers that he had on his car were either defective or he just drove like a complete ass.. i mean if your runnin over curbs and just drivin completely crazy NO coilover is gonna withstand that but if your a responsible driver im sure you will be fine

these sleeve coilovers WILL fuck up your car. Honestly, i've ridden on them, i've installed them on alot of cars, they are complete fucking junk man. Don't do it unless you want to regret it!

you can get the Tein true coilovers for 850 w/ that group buy!

or just throw on some pro kit's, those will do the job for a little while and you won't have to worry about shocks for a while
