Default What Coil Overs?

Looking at getting coil overs for my C5 Z06. I do not race the car and it only sees spirited street driving. What is the most common and or most popular that delivers for under $2k

Ive only seen one brand in person so I am biased, RideTech. It was on their personal Z06 at a SCCA event and it performed amazing. Just my .02

I’ve got the Viking crusader valved double adjustable rears and I like them. My next purchase will be the matching fronts. I believe Team Beefcake has the best pricing.

Another big vote for the Vikings. US made, great price, great warranty (never heard of anyone needing to use it either). Excellent product on my 98.

Theres a good thread in the Autocross and Roadracing forum about the Aldan American coilovers. Seems like a great coilover at a great price.
