I have been looking at them for years... the only thing keeping me away from them is the rough ride they give... I like the way my car rides now and it would be too much of a trade off for me to switch.

I have them and like them a lot. Ride is not any harsher than a Z with T1 bars. I would do this mod over in a second.

I have them ProShock - I do have the latest bushings and love the set up. Talk with forum vendor and suspension guru, Mark Stein http://www.motorsportimage.com/

Had the ProShock setup. Loved them. Change the bushnings to poly though. The rear coils on the ProShock needed to clearenced. I had to grind down the tie rod some and the coil a small amount. I would NOT do the Proshock again, unless I got a smaller spring. I plan on using DRM or LGM on the next setup. Get them corner blalanced and you will love them to death!!! :D :D :cheers:

the proshock ones are sold by WCC and BPP.

Sorry to hear you had a clearance issue with the ProShocks. The set up I have fit perfectly without issues of any kind. Maybe their latest versions have a different spring?

Have you ever been in a Z06 with T-1 bars?? Hold onto your teeth!! Bumpy ride for sure... Be sure to ride in a car that has whatever system you want to buy... That is my best advice.. :blueangel:
