Default Thinking about G2 suspension...

Hey guys...

Been thinking about getting the following:

G2 Super Springs
Bilstein Shocks
G2 Sway bar kit

to add to my:

SLP Front Strut tower bar
Hotchkis Panhard rod
Hotchkis LCA's
Hotchkis SFC's

Think this will be a good combo for street/strip/road racing?

Car will have around 550rwhp. Thanks!!

Anyone have any pics of their car with the G2 springs and Bilstein shocks?

It will make for a killer combo in the corners! FYI, we have sold out of the G2 springs. We won't have anymore for 6-8 weeks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> However, we do have the Hypercoils in stock that will lower the car 1.25" for $169 for the set. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> The front Bilstein shocks have been on back-order for everyone for quite a while, but we are expecting them in within the next week or two. I would also recommend getting a set of LCA relocation brackets and adjustable PHR if you're going to lower the car. This will help get the rearend centered again, and you will also be able to get the geometry of the LCA's back in check.

Give me a call if I can help you out.

My car came with lowering springs when I bought it, but have no idea what kind... is there any way to check? The rear seems higher than the front, and I hate that.

Thanks!!
