Found these on ebay. Anyone heard of them before? I currently run dropzones but I'm dropping a V8 in so I need new springs.

Re: Anyone heard fo LoTek Springs?

For starters those front springs look relatively thin. My front springs are twice as thick as my rears. In comparison to the fronts, those look like the thickness of the stock spring I pulled from my RS. I would stick with drop zone or a set of Moogs. Many members have good luck with cut moogs, including myself.

Re: Anyone heard fo LoTek Springs?

the pic is not even correct front springs do not have a pigtail ends, they are the same diameter all the way. They look like 4th gen springs in the pic. 4th gens have coil on strut arrangement, as such the spring rate is closer to the wheel rate and they need less stuiff springs

I would assume they are using a generic pic as a lot of companies do.

I'm looking at these too. I don't know what happened to the dropzones... I cannot find them anywhere?? Will these be suitable for a LS1/T56?

Re: Anyone heard fo LoTek Springs?

my general rule is to not use parts from companies that don't know how to spell..
