2024 C8 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Default GT2 Coilover experience

After six great years of running the GT2 coilovers I gave a call to LG to inquire about alterring my springs rates to compensate for a heavier engine block and additional downforce. After a lot of helpful information and some research I chose to run 900lb front and and rear springs. Since my previous kit was no longer able to be adjusted on 2/4 units I opted for an entire new kit and Anthony offered to send me the kit with the new springs installed.

Install was easy, all bolts lined up, new pieces looked amazing and there are some subtle upgrades namly in the upper and lower mounts of the front units.

Even on 10/10 all around with 1/4" preload 900lb springs and 36psi R-compound tires my car rides better than any C6/C7 of any trim level.

The car is level under lateral load, is compliant with road imperfections and does not bounce when encountering a defect during a turn. Single handedly my favorite upgrade.
