id say no to the dropzone and personal preference on the second 2....lots of people here have the hp set up and really like it...i have tien springs nowand really like them...i also have owned kybs and they are comprable to the tokico(had the illuminas w/RSR springsreally liked them)...whichever fits your price range better will do the job....

I personally prefer a set spring to a coilover unless you need to constantly adjust height or your spending bank on a full coilover

quite a few people just get Tokico shocks and then a good set of lowering springs (H&R, Tein, etc.), i think it's a little bit cheaper then a set of coilovers. Althoguh i've never heard anyone complain about a good set of coilovers, i've never heard very good things about Dropzone

dropzone shocks/springs cost the same as dropzone shocks/coilovers....they are not bad, they'rejsut below average.
