DropZones Not Cutting it Any More

I did the FE5(08+) Suspension conversion to my 07 LT. When i did i used DropZone lowering springs (big mistake). The car constantly bottoms out and doesnt quite sit how i like. Going to purchase new lowering springs and looking for some suggestions. Trying to avoid coilovers. Anyone have any ideas?

I'd like a lil bit of both, but not too concerned about cost. More interested in the look and ride bc its being turned into a show car after i get my Jeep.

A show car = low

low = coilovers

coilovers = money


cheap mans low = cut springs

I'm pretty sure I read a new thread everyday that says "what springs should I get?"

thats because people just say the same thing in every thread, there should be a sticky with testamonials about every spring.

I still am curious which spring that has about a 2" drop rides the best, I realize all springs with this drop will ride poorly but the insane coil bind i get with my megans is not right.

i want to stay at this 2.25/2.5 drop that i have now but kill the coil bind.


I DO NOT WANT PEDDERS. thats all people say pedder pedder pedder. For those of us that want a DROP they are not good enough, if i wanted my car to handle good id by them. But i just want to be low, NOT slammed but aggressive looking.

There is a sticky thread about springs. Also an old thread that people were posting pics of their car on so and so springs. It's all here just use the search button.
