Default Anyone been on Hyperco's and ProKits?

I was kind of thinking of finding a set of Hypercoils just because I've heard a lot about them in the past and just to be different. I've heard either they kicked the bucket or are not carried by many people. I've had Pro kits on my last two Z's and liked them pretty well. Mine will be a daily driver going to the strip every so often. Thanks for any help.

The Hypercos are sold out.

Look for the Superspring from LGM to make a return soon

Yea, on my 95 Z, the pro kits were awesome. Didn't seem near the same as the "new" pro kit I put on my last 99. The spring rates just didn't seem quite right. I wonder if H&R has a good set. Most people just sell Pro kits with their name on them, so I'd like to be sure of what I'm getting. Thanks for letting me know about Hyperco's being sold out. That's one funny avatar.

I just put the Hypercoils on my 00' SS. I originally had the level 1 from SLP, changed to the pro-kit, and hated the ride. The rear is too bouncy. I put the hypercoils on and it made all the difference in the world! The ride height is the same but the stiffer spring rates are perfect. LGM purchased all the Hypercoils from Hyperco, but Hyperco is still manufacturing them, or has them in stock. Call them direct at 800-365-2645 and ask for Diane Baker.

You are the man! The ride height is about the same as a Prokit? If so, cool. Thanks again.

My experience exactly. After discovering that my rear was consistently bottoming out with the prokits I talked to Louis G. and he sent me a pair of rear Hypercoils. The ride height (at least in the rear) is almost identical to the prokits, but no more bottoming or bounciness - this is with SLP Bilsteins.
I've not used the front Hypercoils so I can't comment on those. I do know they are progressive rate...

Sweet! I just ordered a set from Hyperco. They hooked me up. Ask for Diane to get you a price hook up and Kelly will call you back. Can't wait.
