I am going to be getting springs soon, but I can not make up my mind on which ones to go with. I heard that G2 springs look good, but how do they ride? Does any on have any pics? Does anyone suggest a differnet spring?
Thanks in advance, Kyle

LG has the Hypercoil springs on sale right now. I bought a set and hope to have them on by the end of the month when my shocks get in.
They look real nice, Lou said they are the ones they used before they made the G2s so you should check em out.

I've got the Hyperco's from Kenny Brown and they kickass.
I first went with SLP's springs, but after 6 months, the front never dropped, I called SLP to find out way the front didn't drop and after 30 minutes of discussion, they finally told me the kit didn't change for the LS1 cars, they sold the same springs for both LS1 and LT1 cars, so I asked why the hell they did that because you know the front end of an LS1 based car is lighter and they said GM didn't change the spring rates either...
Now, I'm not posting a BASH SLP post, I've been very happy with everything else I've purchased from them, but common sense guys, common sense...
The Hyperco's are great, really dropped the car evenly front and back about 1.5", I went from being able to get 4 fingers between the fender and tire down to 1 or 2. I never rub a tire and I've only bottomed out the rear once, but that could be from the stupid SLP jounce spacers that they said," I had to have with 17" rims."

not the best picture
from what i can remember, the ride quality was great on the stock seats... but since i got a Corbeau Forza, it's pretty rough(seat doesn't have much padding)
there are some more crappy pictures on my crappy web site if you wanna look http://prockbp.freeservers.com

I just installed the hypercoils this weekend, and they definately look and handle very well. There are some pics of my car (before/after) over on LS1.com, in LG Motorsports thread about the hypercoils on sale. It dropped approx 1.5".

I have the G2 springs w/the stock shocks and my car looks slammed. It might be all mental though, because I still have the stock 16" wheels on the car. They look really tiny now that I lowered the car. I'll email you a photo if you want me to.

heres some pics of my car with Eibach Sportlines. Ride is great and so is handling. Depending on where you live, the sportlines might be a little low, and also depending on your other suspension mods, etc. Im in Orlando, so everything is flat, but with my FLP Headers, there are certain places I can't go <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Certain Parking garages, apartment complexes, high speed bumps.
Here's some links of my car.

Wow dude, your cars looks great! You've got me even more psyked for the big brown truck! I didn't think that was possible.
My Z is black as well, and I just put my C5 replicas on tonight (18x9.5). But, three weeks later, I'm even more anxious for the springs and Bilstiens to get here. I went with the pros however, since in MN, we aren't blessed with the nations nicest roads.
Which reminds me, I really need to get back in to the tint shop. The old 16% stuff screamed for tickets, since we're also deprived of liberal tint laws in this state.
Thanks for the incentive. I'll just keep on waiting inpatiently, but at least I know why I just blew 5 grand on wheels, tires, and suspension parts! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
