My brother's ex-girlfriend had drop zone coil overs on her civic and, IIRC, my brother had them on his MX-6. I think another buddy of mine has them on his civic, too, but I am not positive.

Drop Zones are not that bad, the adjustment collars can become a little tedious at times, but for $90 they provide quite a good drop. They ride as hard as bricks, but I guess that is expected. None of the people that I know that have had them have had problems; so, I can't really say if they suck or not.

Now, as for them working on a -7-. I don't buy it. Not many companies have made quality suspension parts for SAs and FBs, and I don't think such a company as Drop Zone (who specializes in the mid-1990's and up import scene) would take the time to create a coil over kit for a car with such a small demand.

But, if you got the $90 and don't mind experimenting, go for it. Heh. Doesn't hurt to try. Well... it may hurt a little, but not much. Haha.

Minor modifications or camber kits may be required. So add another 200$ for some camber plates and your good to go! What a deal.

yeah. you get what you pay for..... but a good price for springs i must admit.

edit: why would you need a camber kit for anything other than the rears? and the rears are a maybe. they usually sit fairly square, website says a drop between 2" and 2.5" which is a lot in the Rx's case, but for anyone running a drop that low i doubt they'd be worrying too much about camber wear in the rear, IMO.

why would you need a camber kit for the rear of a SA, or FB? it has a solid axle, you can lower it till your mud flaps drag and the rear tires camber will never change. only on IRS rear do you have to worry about camber problem on the rear end IE: FC, or FD. solid axle with a panhard rod means just that, solid since it doesn't bend in the middle there will be no change in camber (unless you lower one side and not the other!

They probably do fit if you buy some extra parts for the front. The rears probably drop into place, but the fronts will need other parts. I can't remember where I saw them, but you can get adjustable collars for the front so you can use racing springs, which these are.

Those are the ones that Amazon sells IIRC that someone here was buying to experiment with.
