Coil overs??jj93z28 06-07-2002, 02:03 AM Hows it going? Well I am new to suspension mods and am looking for a little help locating a coil over kit, the LG kit is to pricey for me. A explaination as to why this is better then just regular lowering springs would be nice to. I am guessing its the adjustability.

Keep in mind I am not a serious racer so I can settle for little less than perfection. Lowend 06-07-2002, 10:42 AM checkout: www.groundcontrol.com (http://www.groundcontrol.com) www.globalwest.com (http://www.globalwest.com) both of these companies make coilover setups for 4th gens. I have used the Ground Control and it works very well. The GW kit is nice in that it is tuned to work with the other GW products (torque-arm, LCA's/brakets). The truth be told, if this is a 100% street car, a set of coilovers is probably not the best use of your $$. Coilovers do allow adjustability, which is crittcal on a racer; but for a street car how valuable is that... I would probably invest in a set of Lowering springs, and spend the extra $$ on a set of good weld-in SFCs. ------------------ 1971 Camaro 12" brakes 16x10" wheels VSE swaybars 350 / M21 Autocross Competitive '83 FSP GTI (driver) Administrator; 2nd Generaton Camaro Owners Group (2GCOG) www.nastyz28.com/2gcog/2gcog.html (http://www.nastyz28.com/2gcog/2gcog.html) Sales / Tech "The Speed Merchant" - San Jose, CA http://www.speedmerchant.com/ auto-Xer 06-10-2002, 10:18 AM Something else about the LG setup is that its the only one that is rodended, which if your seriously roadracing, is a big plus when making your choice. For a daily driver, it means little though. --Kevin ------------------ '96 Z-28 78k Miles Toyo RA1 275/45Z17, SLP Coated Headers, SLP Clutch and Flywheel, G2 Coilovers (Bilstein and Eibach), LS1 Driveshaft, G2 PowerPulley, G2 CAI, B&M Ripper, G2 Pedal Covers, TB Airfoil, Borla 3" catback, G2 Panhard Rod (adj. w/ rodends), G2 Subframe Connectors, G2 Enginebay Brace (4 point), G2 Swaybars, Poly Trans Mount, Driver & Passenger Sparco Evo2 Seats, Powerslot Rotors w/ PFC Pads, Stainless Steel Brake lines, ACES SureShift2 Seq.
