Wasn't it you that said you were done with modding your car?

You must have me mixed up with another clown looking guy!

I took an 800 mile road trip a few weeks ago and decided that the ride quality with leaf springs and C6Z shocks pretty much suck! Just want a better ride!

I am looking into these Stance coilovers as they are $1400 compared to $2000 for Pfadts!

Yeah Blitz, I heard you say that a couple of weeks ago (no more modding) but we all knew you were just clowning around..lol Whatever you decide on obviously ensure they are height adjustable..I would have to toss a coin between Pfadts or Stance, both are great makes.

I have no experience with Stance for Corvettes, but I had a set for a Miata that performed extremely well (better than Koni yellows) and had a set for a Civic that was also pretty good.

They developed the set for the Corvette because one of the Stance engineers had a C5, so I would bet he valved it pretty well.

The parts come from Japan but the applications are developed in the states. I'd like to hear some feedback from people, I hate making assumptions, but I'd have to assume these are very good for the price.

They look like they replace the OEM leafs to me.

Do it right the FIRST time. You will be happier for it.

I have the LG GT2's and like them.
Some of my friends have the LG GT2's, and PFADT's and also like them.

I would choose either.

Do they have a spherical bushing in the top of the rear adapter plate. I'm trying to figure out what the 4 small bolts are for. It also looks like there is some additional clearance between the shaft and the adapter plate, presumably to allow some movement.

Its a pretty easy decision between these and a used set of Pfadts from a parted out garage queen.

The Pfadts are awesome. You won't regret it.

Will coilovers soften ride quality, or are they stiffer than stock?
