I have some Coilovers from West Coast Corvettes. I love them, yet want to go to an extreme setup with Penske 3 way adjustable shocks. If your interested in my Coilovers I maybe selling them soon. I can also give you setup recommendations. I have 5 months 3500 miles on them.

Re: C5 coil over suspension Help!
There's a guy on the Corvetteforum.com that goes by SteelBlue something or other, and has a steelblue (of course) C-4 with a complete coilover setup.
Spoke to him at length. Said he was extremely satisfied with his setup and the mounting.
Think the entire setup put him back 16-1800 or so and looks sweet. Very clean!
Says it handles like it's on rails and rides well too.
Might want to go over there and look him up.
Everyone knows who I'm talking about so just throw up a post or do a search for coilover suspensions on the C4 board and you'll find him.
He's a very nice guy and real helpful. Will send you pics as well if you ask.
Good luck
