Doesn't anyone make shocks for our cars? I need a set of non leveling shocks for my V to go with eibachs I am going to install. I know people are using the CTS ones, but I don't like the idea of going to a softer shock.
Are the FG2 shocks self leveling?
Are their any companies that make an aftermarket shock?

shocks We have the QA-1 adjustable in stock. We just installed them on our V.
in the full soft position they give a noticabley softer ride. I have not gone to full hard yet but there is plenty of adjustment, so you should be able to loosen your fillings. I have not put the bushing upgrade in yet, But the wheel hop has been reduced from never stopping in low gear to about three hops. Part of the wheel hop issiue has been the shocks.The price will be just short of $800.00 for a set of four. I would entertain a Group purchase, let me know.The install took about four hours, we also installed the EIBACHS at the same time.
I also installed our TPIS OVAL throttle body at the same time will post dyno numbers next week. This is an LS-6 intake that we modify to accept our Billet oval throttle body. We normally see around 17+ flywheel HP. and 15 lb. ft. with this mod. This combo will out perform the FAST intake. And ends up being about $400.00 cheaper.
I can really feel the difference, Our car has our headers, light weight steel clutch and flywheel kit , level two programming.and the above mentioned intake and throttle body. and our low cost short throw shifter kit.
If you in the area stop by and take a ride.
