while it isn't the end-all of coilover stuff for the C5, it does look pretty straight-forward. Good Luck

Better?? Well it would be much better than your average set of shocks and your stock leaf springs.Now can you get a set of shocks and springs to match that are better than coilovers- dam right you could. I guess in the end the advantage with the coiloverrs is being able to adjust them though I am not sure how many people actually take advantage of that.

There are about 4 different popular companies that do coilovers on the C5's. We are one of them and I like to think we are the best
Many companies use the Bilstein shocks because they are great shocks for the money and are very servicable. We have been using them for years and years and years and would never go a different way, unless it is a full out racecar. Hyperco springs are also very good that is why we run them.

Coilovers
Thank you gents.
As always, this forum is very educational. Since joining, I have learned a lot about things. Even if I might not use the "mod", such as the coilovers.
I think for now, I will stick with my Z51 and Bilsteins.
Thanks to all again.
