Re: suspension (ry)
I'm running semi coil-overs with aluminum shock in the front and KYB's and the stock spring in the rear (for now). I like the new shocks and the ride height adjustability is nice. The progressive springs ride nice and handle well.

460lb coils in front, 340 composite monoleaf in rear, Bilstein shocks, poly bushings throughout. Its plenty stiff and handles great and rides better than stock. would do it again exactly the same if faced with the decision.

Yeah I am about 3 1/2 seconds away from buying a transverse leaf spring for the front. However I am curious about how much you can adjust the height of it. Also those coilovers. how much play did you have in them?

Re: suspension (WashingtonRacer)
In total they can be adjusted 4". I have mine slammed so it is nearly at the bottom of the adjustment but I am also running 265R5015's which are smaller in diameter than most front tires people are running on their Vettes. When I switch to 17 or 18" wheels then I may have to raise the ride height a bit.
