Default Coil Overs

I am looking into installing a set of coil overs on my 2000 Z51. Any feed back on brands, install problems, realignment specs, or any other ideas is much appreciated. Man I have spent a ton of money since I found this site! I haven't even had a chance to up date my list of mods. :cheers:

Greeting to another Tucsonian!!! (well at least in the winter for me :) )
Miss El Charros :( Go Cats!!

anyways....
have not heard of any install problems. I have a set of BPP coil overs (made by Pro Shocks) that I got off the forum for a good price. I have not installed them yet. People will probably point you to DRM or LG and the "best," but unless you are all out autoxing or whatever I believe you will do great with any other three mentioned.
Some people are worried about the mounts, but I have not heard much with that. I plan on realigning may car.
You can easily get different springs for the setup also.
There is a guy, I think named "Sear" (Sweedish guy??)or something close that should hit this thread soon. He runs a high end setup. :D He has more knowledge on coils than I want to know. Call DRM or BPP or LG..etc
