Default DRM coilover over stock sale

Here is the deal. I like to keep a couple sets in stock. Well due to my mess up, we double ordered shocks. We have 3 sets of coilovers that we would like to move. This includes 4 "marlin" Valved Bilstein shocks, springs, hats, shock bushings, adjusting nuts and sleeves, spanner wrench. All for 1495 dollars, our normal price on this package is 1695.


Order soon, because there is only 3 sets that I can offer that this price!!!

If you are interested in all the poly bushings we can work that out on a case by case deal.


Thanks
Randy

What is all involved with installing these on an F45 car?

I know a CE LT4 owner (like me) and he had 4 coil overs. The F45 was removed, the rear knuckle did not handle the coilover and he had to re-instal the rear monospring. His vette runs coil over in the front and regular in the rear.

Did he drop the rear with longer bolts, or did he maintain the stock ride height. Im looking to drop my car and improve the handling at the same time. Was just talking this weekend with a friend about the DRM coil over set up.............was also talking about the 383 build up as well, but thats another thread for a later day.

The vette is lower than normal (front)

The CE is the one...

Randy, do those mods have to be done to fit any c4? Would I need to do that on a 92 non z51 car?

Is this a FX3 or FX3 delete (pic looked like FX3)

How much of a drop does this kit provide?

Thanks

Mike

This sale is for Non-fx3 cars or people that would like to delete their
FX3. We set them up so the car is about 3/4 inch lower then stock.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad I'm going with a narrow body shock so I don't have as many clearance issues.

Is it possible to put front coilovers for an early C4 (84)? I know in the later years, they opened up the upper shock mount area, but the earlier C4s are very narrow.

If you find a set of Late model shock towers you can, cut, chop and reweld. That is about the only way to make it happen.

You should remove your stock springs, or you will have the stiffest C4 ever. What would be the point of coil overs if you left the stock springs in place?

Randy,
I have a set of your rear coilovers that fit later model Corvettes (see pic) that I pretty much got for free and was wondering if there was a way to retrofit them for an early C4 (1986).
