How much for a good set of coilovers for the Z06? Can anyone recommend a brand? Also, how much adjustable range can I expect to get from them?

I have a set of Callaway COILovers on my SuperNatural Corvette - they work as advertised, zero issues - Car has almost 60k on them, installed when new

You rang?

Depending on how low you want to go, give west coast corvette a call and ask for Craig. I have rippie coil overs that WCC ordered. WCC had Bilstein make a 2" shorter shcok body for increased travel. The coil overs are about $2100 and you can request any valving you'd like. I personally wouldnt have a corvette without them. You can adjust the ride hieght at any time and it's very easy. The ride is better to as you eliminate the "cross talk" with the factory leaf set up. Hope that helps.
Sick ride by the way 1hotzo6. I love the red on black.

I do like the LG Motorsports Mounting setup better though.
