SWEET! Ever since ridding around in two different coilover setups, I am saving up to get my own. In 90% of all the driving experience I don't even need what the coilover setup offers, but for how great this car is, and how much I love it, I want the best I can have, and the cost increase is really not that much. And when at high speed, or in those few bad situations where this type of setup comes in real handy, I would prefer to just have it on my car also! Ultimate levels of handling and control in the ultimate level of car for it's price!

I want the LG's since they have already done the leg work, and have pretty much figured out the best setup for the car. If you let me figure it out, I won't have it setup the way I want unless you give me 20 laps on the track and half a day to really play with it, to find that perfect setup with it, too damn **** about trying to set things up. A little more costly, but I have ridden in a C5 with the PFADT coils, and they are damn nice, but I don't think I will ever need 10 levels of adjustment. Also with the LG's they are reversed on the shocks, so the weight of the shock is supported by the wheelwell, and not the A-arm, so less mass on the suspension arm, or the suspension parts, which means faster response of the componentry. NOT like I would ever be able to tell the difference, but better, is still better! The LG's are about $2300, and the PFADT's are about $1800. $500 is not that much more to worry about for me, so the cost difference is negligable.
