What coilovers are these?
These have been installed on my 99 vette since I bought it:

There are 4 pics...there are no identifying marks on the coilovers so I cannot tell.
Thanks

Those look like Breathless performance coils. If that is the case I understand why you want to get rid of them, in doing research for my own the info I found on BPP coils was that they were one of the worst setups out there for the C5. Sorry for the bad news.

Thanks for the reply.
I just looked up the breathless performance ones and I don't think they look alike...

they do look like BPPs, but to make sure you should take some better pix of the front coilovers...

I don't know why, guess I was looking at the actual shock bodies too hard to notice the reverse mount like LG does. That must be one of their very early sets. Did they even use Bilstein shocks then? That would explain why they ride so bad, springs are very stiff with that package.

Thanks for all your help and effort!
