Aaron how difficult is it to install the coil-over kit on a 03 coupe? I read that you have to remove something.

By the way the website is , its bookmarked

Can you have both coil-overs, and lowered on stock bolts?

Thanks

The coil overs take the place of the springs (aka stock bolts) so the answer is no.

The coilovers are adjustable to change your ride height.

The vette is up at ACP being done. They were working on the front fascia and hood when my bro and I was up there last week.

The installation is only slightly more difficult than installing shocks. The leaf spring removal in the front involves unbolting the upper control arms from the frame. Overall the install and setup can be done in a day. We have done it at the track in about two hours, but we have some experience with them

The instructions are on our website.

AJG is correct, the bolts are no longer in play with coilovers, they come out with the springs. And don't worry, your car will not look like his during the install.

Hi Aaron,

It's even easier to install them on my car as I have a lots of access space.

I can't wait to get the car's body finished up and my CCW wheels on, so that I can get my Pfadt Suspension all dialed in.

Thanks for all of your help along the way.

Tony
