I posted this last week and didn't get a single response :confused: I have heard that DRM makes a nice system, but I have no idea on cost.

DRM sells them for 995, exotic muscle sells them, and there is somebody else that I can't remember.

If you're not going to be using the car on the track, I would not recomend coilovers.

The rippie set-up is a VERY nice system. Joe Blass' car has been at Englishtown a time or two and I had a chance to take a look at them. zelement also has the same one's and His car is in THE WEEDS and according to Him, handles 10 times better than leaf springs. I believe it. Mine is a bit too soft(base suspension) I'll do coil overs on mine before too long. Brakes and a steering rack are first.

HAL QA1's they are like 350 for the front pair. This is my next move. Rather, one of the many next moves!

I have had them on every corvette I've owned. I would not own a corvette and not have them. They are perfect for the street. DRM is known to be the best. Check out there web site. HUGE difference in cornering for the c4. :cheers:
