Mazda RX8 2003-2006 Dropzone Lowering Springs by Dropzone - DZ7405

I don't have personal experience with DropZone, but a 1.8" front and rear drop is pretty extreme. I wasn't able to find spring rates for them either. Spend $200 and get a reputable brand.

IMO, reputable brands include:
Progress Tech Sport Springs
H&R Springs
Racing beat Springs
Tein S-Techs
Tein H-Techs
Tanabe GF210
Tanabe NF210
Mazdaspeed
etc. etc.....

were they physically shorter than your stock springs? If they were then you likely did not preload which is why you are not lower.

Oh, and why take a chance on this cheap crap when you cane get Teins or progress Springs for next to nothing?

You can have a used set of reputable springs SHIPPED for the same price...

You can usually get S-Techs for that price on Amazon.
