Default Problems from coil-over shocks

Anyone with coil-overs have any problems with the set-up? Any applications cause problems? :skep:

I don't have any issues. Using ProShocks (with the new bushings)

Call Mark Stein - forum vendor

I ran DRM's XtraGrip 2 system on my last C5 (2k Coupe MN6)and the only problems I had was a headache on dowtown Birmingham's frickin "Wonderful" highways and a big grin that wouldnt go away when I exited corners a little more "spirited" than what I could without them.

Rough ride, but INSANE cornering/handling ability! Am going to put same kit on my ZO6 :D

HTH!

This is our LG Motorsports set up. We use Bilstein aluminum shocks, and our own design mounting brackets that eliminate all the rubber in the package. We have spherical bearings at the ends, and Hypercoil Springs. there is no rubber to wear out.
I just took them to Texas World speedway, and played for 2 days there, with Zero issues.

We have dialed in the handling of this package with our selection of springs, and shock valving.

Let us know if we can help.
