Default Coilover Suspension

Is there anyone in the Greater Seattle Area that has upgraded their C5 or C6 to coilover suspension? I'm beginning to research the marketplace and would really like to experience some different setups first hand.

Thanks for your help and Happy New Year!

I am approx. 400 miles from you, so if your thoughts were see the car sorry. Anyways I switched to coils & sways last spring, originally F45. I would do it again in a heart beat. any questions please feel free to ask away.

I have Moton Club Sports on all four corners of my '07 Z06. Significant handling improvement, slight decrease in ride quality. With remote adjustment it is easy to stiffen it up for the track.

Converted my C5 Z06 to the Pfadt coil overs, pfaddy heavy duty sways and poly bushings. Handling is superior, ride is manually adjustable. The default middle setting is stiffer than the stock Z suspension. I'd do it again.
