Im interested in getting some coil overs for my Zo6, I know the stock shocks have the bump stop build into them, so is there no more bump stop anymore after installing coil overs or will they be in the coil over shock?

Which brand to get thats good for just a street driven car?

 

up up up

 

my pfadt featherlights have bumpstops on them... now that they are out of business lg is probably the only other coilover I would out on my own car

 

There are some vendors that have featherlights in stock.

 

are they handling warranty claims too???

 

Do they have a controller w them to adjust the shocks from inside the car?

 

no, they adjust from the bottom of the shock body

 

As is no warranty, $2200 please.
As much as I want a set, with them going out of business and the amount being delivered new with leaking shocks, I'll look elsewhere.

 

yep, one of my rears is leaking... I sent them all to a place called feal suspension to see if they can repair the one that is leaking and test the other 3... I should have went with lg

 

Remember, Doug Rippie Motorsports always has theres too:

MCS is made by the people who made Motons I believe. They have a good reputation in the viper world but I've never seen them on a vette.

 

Probably a dumb question, but so you remove the transverse leaf springs when you install coilovers?

 

yes, the leaf springs come off and now you have true independent suspension

 

They sure do...

If you want to see how our G2's go on the car, take a look here: http://www.lgmotorsports.com/gallery...20Corvette.pdf

 

Whats the performance difference between the GT2's and the G2's aside from the adjustability in the GT2's? Benefits?

 

Anthony just built a set of G2's for my car, which are fantastic btw

 

The G2's were the first coil overs we did for the Corvette's way back in 1998. These have always been a hand built setup for the car taking into account; car weight, ride height, tires, use, driver, and other factors. Spring rates, shocks, shock valving, all of which vary on each build. These are the lightest setup that we offer for the cars and the most customizable set.

The GT2's were done after that and primarily designed for a street car that might see a few weekends at the road course, or maybe a trip down the strip. They are a single adjustable shock and generally have a softer spring rate than most of the G2 builds (out side of the drag builds of course).

All out dialed in performance, the G2's are going to be your best bet. An all around setup, the GT2's will handle most people's needs.

As for the question on bump stops...depends on the build.

All of the GT2's do have a bump stop built into the shock and you can see it in the build. On the G2's, it depends on the build. Some of them will need a bump stop, and some do not as in many cases you would never see that much bump to the shock unless you are acting out a scene from the Dukes of Hazard, which I don't suggest. The log video was bad enough to do.

 

Here is mine with the recently installed LG G2 coilovers....about the same ride height as it was with the lowering bolts......but holy crap, the ride quality with the coilovers is sooo much better, even with 700 lb springs front, and 650 lb springs rear.
Ton more adjustment if you want to completely slam it, but I just had the shop set the ride height close to what it was before...plenty low enough for me. They also corner balanced the car and did a fairly aggressive track alignment. Photo's with street wheel set-up.....18x10.5 speedlines with 295/35/18 rear and 275/35/18 front

 

That is a darn good looking car!

 

LG or KW variants

get something you can service and from a place that's been around awhile

KW is a great shock that gets overlooked simply because vendors aren't promoting them
