Looking for someone who knows what they're talking about for suspension advice. Looking to improve handling on both my C6Z and my CTS-V. Both do both track and road duty (90/10 road/track for Corvette and 70/30 for CTS-V).

what are you looking to do work with what you have or replace things?

If they know about your previous experience and your lack of satisfaction they'd likely cherish an opportunity to earn your business back.

First, I'm looking for advice on the CTS-V. I had QA1s installed and now the handling isn't what I want. Ground Control coilovers won't work with the QA1s. I can go to Ksport or KW coilovers, but then I've thrown away the money I spent on the QA1s. I think H&R Sport Springs might be the solution--replacing the stock ones--but I need someone to give me unbiased advice. Hopefully, that same person/shop can do the install.

This is doubly frustrating because a)I drove two hours to a Forum sponsor three weeks ago and, even after a phone call reminder, they haven't gotten back to me, and b)I called another Forum sponsor locted 1/2 an hour from me and they haven't gotten back to me. So it's not for a lack of trying.

Once I have the Caddy set up right, I want to upgrade some things on the Vette--once again, with some independent, unbiased advice.

not to many shops truly have the knowledge of suspension. Even fewer have the knowledge to revamp a car entirely. Even less knowledge with a CTS-V as it probably isn't their normal car they have experience with. That would lead them to need track time to sort things out if they have no proven package with a CTS. My opinion may be wrong but I doubt I would want QA shocks on a road car for improvement in track manners. I'll PM you a vendor with experience on CTS-V.
