The GMPP and the Featherlite have the same shock the difference is the spring. Supposedly they get that much better of a price on the springs for the Fetherlite. Plus the GMPP sticker probably cost a bit too.

Go to the Vendors any of the following will be able to take care of you. JDP/Phastek/Apex. Whomever has the best price gets the sale.

I like the guys at JDP Motorsports that's my endorsement if it matters at all. I've also had good luck with Phastek. I've not had the opportunity to buy from Apex yet.

Check out MTI Racing, they have some goodies that would help you out. Also, they have the pfadt coils for a decent price. They might even do member discounts as i'm pretty sure they are a sponsor.

I got the Eibach springs that dropped the car 1.0 in the front Nd 1.3 in the rear.
If I was to sell my 1LE struts with the eibach springs. Will they fit a owner of a camaro v6?

Some pics of the upgrades:
So this is where that massive box went! haha Awesome man, can't wait to see some track results!

Pfadt sells a road course race package that includes all these parts. I think it was just shy of $4k. I just tried to look on their web site but it has changed since last September when I ordered them. Not really sure.

Only order this extreme package for road racing. The cars rides rough on the street. As you can see one of the items was solid motor mounts. If you really want to feel what 654hp feels like at your steering wheel, get solid motor mounts!

Lio, we have them listed on our website just below the Pfadt coil overs we discussed yesterday. Sometime in the next few weeks we will be installing a set on Apex Paul's daily driver.

I would buy the Ride Tech coilovers as they are a great product at a great price, and the company stands behind them with excellent customer service.

I know the owner of Ride Tech from racing with him at events like LS Fest and if I need coilover replacements for my Pedders, those are what I am buying because they work well from watching him beat my time in their 2010 Camaro on the autocross and they come with a million mile warranty....any questions, check this thread and read the head of their engineering departments comments...

So I know I need to also upgrade my suspension to avoid wheel hop?

I been looking at the Pfadt cool overs but they are $2,790. Any info? Meaning has anyone with a 1LE done it? Are they worth the money!?
Coilovers are not really going to help with wheel hop, but they will help with handling.

To get rid of wheel hop go with a set of Pfadt Subframe bushings, Upper control arm bushings, and trailing arms with outer bushings. These are the key items that really need to be addressed.

As for the coilover question, We are excited to try out the RideTech coilovers, but I still fancy Pfadt's inverted design. We'll be testing a set soon and will be able to provide some good feed back and comparison to the Pfadt coilovers.

Please feel free to call, PM or email me anytime. I'm always happy to help!

Best regards,

Tyler

Definitely looking forward to a review by Apex of the Ridetech coilovers and how they are for daily driving!
