Ground Control makes collars for Koni, Bilstein and some others. Penske and QA1 make coilovers.

Cool thanks. I had an 02 WS6. Was big on the other ls1 site. Sold it in 03 and left the scene for turbo buicks. Just bought a 30th anniversary trans am so I will be here a lot now.

Strange and Afco have both got a great shock that are coil over adjustable. Give me a call for the guaranteed best deal on these shocks, and the setup experience to help you during and after the install.

Before you go jumping on the coilover train, tell us what you are looking for with them? Handling or launching?
Going with QA1s, strange or Afco will leave you with some very poor handling but good weight transfer...

Yeah I was thinking that when I seen the brands named. Usually not know for handling. I'm looking for a handling suspension. Not a drag queen. Nothing from ridetech for this car?

Not Global Control, he means Ground Control. You add them to Koni's.

That is what I have.

KW offers a good looking package for them now. They are known for good quality shocks. Not cheap though.
