$1200 isn't bad at all. How low can they go and what are the spring rates?

We specify our standard kit can go from factory to about a 2” drop. We also have a kit that will allow a 2”-3” drop.

The spring rates for the standard full car coilover kit would have 9” 500 lbs. spring in front and a 8” 600 lbs. spring in the rear.

Have these been compared to the Pfadt Featherlite singles? Curious. Have never been able to dial my Pfadts in for an acceptable ride. I'm wanting a more cushy ride. May just go back to the Z51 springs and find a shock to match with them.

You need a lighter spring in both front and rear. If me also would get to a shop that could get your car as close to a 50/50 weight tranfer.
This will help you ride and corner better than any one thing you could do. By the way spring are really cheap for the coilovers..

I wonder how they compare to the qa1 coilovers. I have them in the front of my car with their shocks in the rear and the ride sux. Bouncy, harsh, you feel every bump. Looks cool but rides like crap lol.

Have seen a lot of good reviews on them. Is the $1200 the normal price or a limited time sale price?

Are these best suited for street or drag racing?

would you say the rear shocks are a big improvement in traction on street or strip over stock z06 due to the adjustability? or are these more for exterior appearance (lowering)?

Just installed a set of cannot get the ride height low enough. The spring is almost loose on the shock body but the wheel gap is huge. Probably 3" The directions are so vague, no pictures, and not car specific. Do you need to use the adjustment ***** for ride height as well?

Hi Cajun,

I talked to another tech here and he spoke to a gentleman on the phone last night about a similar issue that was from Illinois, we think it is the same person so hopefully he is taken care of. Also I have attached a photo of the car we did our first install on, this is the height the customer wanted it at but we were able to go a bit lower if we wanted, so you can defiantly lower the ride height from factory.





Thank you,
