WANTING TO DISCUSS A SHOCKING SUBJECT......
After the heads/cam imstall, I want to do some suspension inprovement for better grip at the track and also better all around. Choices I am considering are the Koni adjustable shocks, the ones Breathless offers, "C5 rebound adjustable performance shock, or a coil over shock. What you think? Anyone have any of these or an opinion on which way to go with this shocking deal :D

I have same question and was thinking bout switching over to the Z06 suspension. don't know if T1 with coil overs is to stiff. Darth Vetter just got his new suspension put in maybe he can give some input.

ARE is in the process of releasing a drag race suspension and brake package. They already have the shocks ready to go and are testing them this weekend on their own car. They just pulled a 9.59@150mph an hour ago. It looks like the shocks did help out because they are really the only change they made since their 9.80 run at Route66 a few weeks ago.
I believe they are 12 point adjustable so they would be good for all forms of driving in your C5. YOu can loosen the front up to hit the 1/4 mile or tighten it all up and jump on an autocross :) I believe the shocks will sell for around $1200. Let me know if you want any more information on them.

Hey,
Mike Norris installed HAL 12 point shocks on my car, I love them, you should ask him about them, he rode in my car so he can tell you what he thinks of them. :cool: :cheers:
