are dropzone shocks worth a damn?

I bought a set of eibach sportline springs for my girl's 98 integra LS and don't feel comfortable putting them on the stock struts. Just wondering if anyone uses them and if they are any good?

For a little more than that you can get pretty nice shocks.

what brand do you suggest thats not much more than that? its just a girl driven daily driver, i just dont want the car bottoming out or being bouncy. i was looking at the kyb gr2 but im not sure if they are good for a lowered vehicle.

its on springs, not like you're putting much strain on em. GR2's ride great on springs.

yeah but do they have a lowered shock body to compensate for the suspension travel.. aren't they just stock replacements? my agx struts bottomed out alot when i had sportlines on my GSX.

yea they're stock replacements, I never had any issues with them on my 240 with s-tech springs as far as bottoming out.

I've had gr2's on two different cars and they rode great for a spring/strut setup.

I would go with GR2's. They are a good stock replacement from a reputable company that can handle stiffer spring rates. I had them on my old 97 accord on vogtland springs. No bottoming out and very comfortable for a daily driver.
