the lowered shock body is def something im looking for as well. My DA is just sitting on the shock body. no suspension travel at all lol, as soon as i saw that, it went back on jackstands lol. Those Dropzones def look like they have a shorter shock body. I'll pm you or post up if/when i find a decent strut for a good price.

GR2s are garbage with anything other than stock springs.

I doubt Dropzones are much better.

VADA9 has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Default Re: are dropzone shocks worth a damn?

Had GR2's with Mopar Hi-rates on my Dodge and loved em. But vada9 is right you can't really go much lower than 1'' but from the sound of it you're not looking to drop that much anyways so go ahead.

Save your money. Do it right the first time $99/pr comes to $198 for the car. Replace every few months = alot of money/yr

Get some tried and trued koni sports or a full bodied coilover kit (although some of these are garbage as well).

They well GREATLY out dampen those ebay units and last much much longer
