A set of Koni replacements and his springs made my 3rd Gen Camaro handle way better than I expected. Well under a price of coil overs for that car and I just didn't see the need for coilovers for a car that used as a daily driver.

Definitely good to see a player like Penske coming out with dampeners for the Camaros though. Any estimate on what these coilovers will run for?
I will ask them on Monday.. I imagine they will be in line with other manufactures. Also, there will be a price for single and double adjustables.

I will also ask about the mounts to use stock style springs, although that wouldn't save you very much cash.

I do like how these use the stock upper mounts and how the fronts adjust by the body and not the spring perch.
