Yeah, you can still order those online. They come with better mounts and aren't adjustable. Getting them set like you want with the springs and shocks engineered to work together probably provides a better overall ride and takes the element and error of trying to make multiple adjustments...

If its the same shock as the vette G2.....the valving was perfect....it was worth every penny. I consistently shaved 2 seconds off a 1.31 time at WS in CA. And the car felt more sure footed and controlled. And the drive to/from the track was fine....little firmer than stock but very comfortable. They know their stuff over there at LG....they even set the ride hieght to my specs before shipping....and it was spot on...no adjustment needed.

Thanks for the heads up....I'll check em out.

I was going to do another suspension option.....but if these are available I'm all over it.

I wish you would have called because I'm mandated to advertise them for a certain price, but there are specials. And because I know how to set them up, but I can't be giving away all my secrets.

I called and spoke to a woman in your office I suppose. Was quoted the online price and asked if you priced matched with the answer being no, I just moved on.

Just ping me in a situation like that. Again, it's a tough situation because KW has a MAP policy, and they can be strange about who they hold to it. Lots of games get played with "in the cart discounts" and crap like that. Having said that, when it comes to spring rates, and playing with damping for particular needs I'm way, way better at that than anyone else you are going to find.

Sadly, nobody gave me any parts to figure this all out, I have to buy them too and that costs money. And it takes time to learn (which costs a lot of money).

Sam, then I might go that route. The KW Coilovers, Hyperco springs, and the 35/22 adj swaybar combo from you.

That would be easily fixed with either a bolt or a grommet of sorts.

This car will never see rain, and the only water it will see will be the water from washing it. I will have this plugged with a rubber grommet once the engine bay is all finished up though.
