what coilover to use?

What set up should I use on my 2000 ss camaro. I am looking at Ground Control's coilover set up with eibock springs???? What else is in the market? Airbags is a bit much on the costly side. Please help!

From: Hell was full so they sent me to NJ
Spohn Performance sells a modified QA1/HAL setup for the rear:

You could substitute the QA1/HAL's for the front shocks, with whatever springs you want. But the QA1's are an "average" shock at best, for anything other than the 1/4-mile.

What are your goals for the car.... straight line traction, twisties, low rider????

coil overs

Do you have 315's? I run 315 with no bum stops. i have side to side rubbin issues and I blew a set of koni shocks with eibach springs. I since have moved to the lg motor sports rear coil overs with a very stiff spring rate. so far all has been well. I you plan or road racing i would go with a coil over setup. strano will tell you to run koni adj or dbl adj and a sleev coil over. lg's product has been very stout for me especially in crappy california roads. My friends are verysuprised how well the car handles minus the rubbing and noise from the lower spericle bearing control arms. if you have any more questions e-mail me at robert@adinvestment.net
