Speaking of which, Hey Dreamin...

Bossplaya.....

You da Man!

When I do get the kit, I'm going to evaluate the installation instructions. If I plan to install them, I'll hit you up. Also, I'm amazed you went to 600lb front and 650lb rear with your setup.

I might have to take a ride in your car before I purchase them.

His QA1's probably adjust much stiffer than the factory shocks. You'll blow FE4 shocks with 600/650's... not even sure if the FG2 could handle that much spring.

rgd: you have PM

Jay!

FE4's and the 500/550 rate are even pushing it, IMHO.

FG2 is purrrrrfecttttt for guys like me at 550/500...but I'm ready to bump it 100#'s on all corners...what's the word RGD?

WW (wish I had an MGD but it is only a Guiness instead

I'll have to bail too. Too much other stuff on my plate. Maybe for the best.

VELOSE · #**129** (**permalink**) 06-09-06, 07:15 PM

Well, I went to get a custom alignment and the shop failed to tell me they didn't have a specific tool to be able to adjust the settings on the car. So now I'm going to wait till I get a coilover kit from somewhere. If it isn't Ground Control, it'll be the Richie Rich Penske version.

Spoke with Hotchkis today about their end links (p/n 1797 for C5 vettes), and our need for something stout once the GC units ship and we start lowering away. If you check their web, the photo is out of date. The new ones are sealed, high-articulation units with lube fittings and are adjustable. The bolt size however is larger than our bars accomodate so drilling may be involved. They are getting a V in their shop tomorrow. He said they'd check to see what's in their inventory regards an adjustable unit that will bolt right up. I'll post here on results.

Keep the faith, think good thoughts.

wildwhl · #**132** (**permalink**) 06-12-06, 10:09 PM

It won't be long...you can buy mine with >525 hp (conservative I think), Hotchkis, GC, spare (unpainted) hood, meth kit in box, 9.25" rears, etc.

Love it...hate the dealer...and can't take that abuse anymore. They're telling me 3-4 weeks to replace the rear window, center console, and NAV along with minor body work on the door.

Repeat after me:

LOVE THE CAR

HATE THE SUPPORT NETWORK

LOVE THE CAR

HATE THE SUPPORT NETWORK

Car hauls ass, sticks, gets looks, and make me grin from ear to ear. But I'm now over 50 days of shop time in the last 2.25 years for warranty and another 60+ (add another 28 for this fiasco) days for repairs unrelated. She's bad luck for me.

Must move on.

Wonder when the 505HP SuperV will be out (sans 2 seats) aka C6 Z06...if only.

Speaking of which, if anyone is selling their V with the widened 9.25" wheels, I'd be more than happy to swap out with my stockers. I'd pay for all shipping of course. wink wink nudge nudge.

calicadi · #**134** (**permalink**) 06-13-06, 10:42 PM

Spoke with Stan at GC today. Friday (6/16) is the next checkpoint date for possible receipt of the last missing part for the kit. He's got my name and number and said he'd call. If I don't hear from him by Friday noon, I'll call myself and post here any update. It's all about setting expectations. He didn't promise they'd have them ready Friday, only that he'll know Friday the status on the part.

I'll check with Hotchkis tomorrow (6/14) afternoon on their end-link results.
