The best?

Penkes, I'm putting Penske coilovers on my car with dual rate springs from my friend Gary Hoffman @ hardbarusa.com (forum vendor)

My will be similar to this C6Z06 setup:


Notice the custom mount to eliminate binding


He's coming out with a slick lower mount for the rear to eliminate bending

I guess all three. Car handles like a hot mess of garbage right now and I would like to lower the car. It needs new shocks, so why not just upgrade?

Odd wedges and longer bolts with adj shocks or...

coilovers with the potential to fine tune and adj ride height.

I'd rather spend more and do it right. Car will see some mild roadracing but mostly street use and drag racing. coilovers weigh less I assume?
