Default LG Motorsports G2 coil over package updates for 2016

We have some exciting new products coming for 2016 and some updates on existing products like our G2 line which I am going to go over here.


Our G2 coil over suspension line started in 1993 on the 4th generation Camaro's and continues to this day with our latest design for the 7th generation Corvette. The G2's have won countless times in both pro and regional classes in autoX, road racing, and drag racing alike.

What has been at the core of all of the G2 packages has been our long running relationship with Bilstein Motorsports in making parts and designs to meet our needs and our customer's demands in performance and quality.


As you well know....our G2 line is one tough cookie!



For 2016 we have a shock update that is going to make this package even better with little to no impact on pricing (to be released in January).


Our current G2 shocks





New G2 shock for 2016





New shock end cap





This is going to be the new shock that is supplied with all kits that will phase in during 2016. You will still have LG Motorsports proven mounting kits and top quality HyperCo springs going with each G2 set, along with our custom valving per your order.

What is new is a fine threaded shock body that will give the end user more accurate adjustments when corner balancing the car. Also new is a threaded on end cap protective cover for the floating rod guide. This acts also as a bump stop caps for those cars that require bump stops when needed. This new cap will help keep debris and dirt from the guide as well for longer service life.

This new modular design is also slightly lighter than the prior generation shock too, which is an added bonus! Total car sets will be about 1/2 lb lighter than last generation.




WHAT CHANGES
  • New fine thread collar adjustments
  • Screw on rod guide / bump stop plate
  • Screw on pressure chamber top
  • Larger adjustment range
  • Lighter weight
  • Modular body design



WHAT STAYS THE SAME
  • LG Motorsports custom valves per customer order
  • LG Motorsports durable mounting kit
  • Bilstein's patented floating pressure chamber design
  • floating rod guide
  • 46mm tube diameter




Of course we will always support older generation G2's as long as we possibly can. This new design does interchange shafts and pistons so rebuilds can still be done on older designs the same as the new shocks.

LG Motorsports, always improving the breed through racing!

Only a hand full of parts left now to do the older designs. Most likely any order placed after today will be the new body design.

I have some G2s I bought about 3 years ago, mine do not have the valve at the top. is that for grease or a remote fluid cylinder?

Depends on the build. We do offer a "sealed" version of the G2, but that valve on the shock is to fill the shock with nitrogen so they can be serviced at home. The sealed shocks are just like what you would get on your production street car, they are done in a nitrogen chamber and should never have to be serviced.

The new shock bodies are now shipping from Bilstein (as of yesterday) so orders will start to ship by the end of this week on any and all back orders.

Almost caught up on all back orders.

Currently it looks like I will have stock left after all current orders are assembled, to build a few more before the next batch of parts arrives from Bilstein.

Knocking out current orders this week, and should have enough parts left for a couple more sets before the next batch arrives if anyone is looking for one of the best coil over kits on the market for Corvette!

If you have been thinking about grabbing a set before summer is over, now is a good time.

I am wrapping up the latest builds right now and have enough parts to do another couple sets before I am out again. We are building them faster than Bilstein can keep up with!!

Ring me or Cesar here at the shop before we run out!!

Those interested in getting a set of G2 coil overs this year should put their order in soon. We are approaching the holiday's and with current build times and holiday shut downs it will be tight to get a lot of orders shipped prior to Christmas.

If you have any questions just ring myself or Cesar here in the office about a set for your Corvette.
