New Coil Over Kit Released Today!!!!!

[Dreamin]

vette: FWIW, i dont think you can lower the front more than 1.25" to 1.5"... without (a) rolling the fender and (b) removing the fender liner... and if removed, I dont know what's under the liner that could get damaged from rocks flying up. This is independant of spring-rate... at some point your going to be into the liner period.

Take a look at how close the front tire is to the liner on your stock car... and you have to account for the body's roll-over.

I hear ya. I've run really stiff springs on all my Vipers and Vettes. Although it doesnt completely stop the rubbing, it helps quite a bit. I know there are a couple guys running 750/700 set ups with the ground control. I want to go with the stiffer set up. Did you get your bolt situation squared away yet?

Did you get your bolt situation squared away yet?

Yes, but now i'm travelling... wont be able to finish up the car until next week

Well you all wanted to see pictures... Still need to raise it a little and drive it around to get a good feel on the new spring rate but should have more to follow shortly..

[urbanski]

holy crap thats just way too slammed!!!

[SPRCOBRA]

there is alot of adjustment trust me this is only a test fit just stuck them in there and dropped it.. It's getting raised tonight but believe it or not there is still travel... Now turning that's a different story. Just waiting for the ricer comments .

[urbanski]

Maybe it's just me but I would drive it around just like that. My Viper loos close to it. Have your fenders rolled and leave it. Looks sick!

[SPRCOBRA]

Thanks for the compliment. Sick Viper by the way....

Thanks bro. Are you running into serious rubbing issues when you turn the wheel or just when you go over hard bumps?

I only drove it down the street but the funny thing is I noticed that only the passenger side rear was rubbing so I turned around went back to the house got out of the car and long behold I have to different quarters on the car. The left is rolled and the right is not. I guess that what you get when you buy GM not meaning to bash just a little funny thats all. Regardless I'm keeping the car low jut me style but raising a bit due to the inner fender design in the front(rubs on the plastic inner fenders just a bit much) I'm currently looking for a body shop to roll my fenders now due to GM's little mix up on using to different rear quarters. i must have been at the end of a work shift

GM screwed something up? NO WAY!

Well I'm subscribing to hear about Dreamin's review of the new suspension.

Not sure if this coilover setup is the same as one that is out for euro cars. To be more exact, for the new GTI's, Jettas, and so on. The brand is called B+G. These types of coilovers do the same thing. They can keep their full shock travel while being able to drop it all the way. This is a new concept and the benefits of keeping your shock travel is, MONEY!

You guys are almost making me come back.
