The only trouble is finding someone to do it.


I tend to have softer settings in the rear, handles better that way. Tried firmer but the ass end just wants to get lose around corners.

There's a shop out in the inland empire that does them I think.BC 's and Megans anyway.
Getting used to my setup with the new squared tire/wheels. I like the rear settings softer then the fronts for ride, but have to now anyway with the front sway on soft or get to much oversteer with the rears set more firm. Best I can do is even all around but thats pushing it. May leave it and test out at fontucky in Aug.

They are great on the sales/service end, at least Sara and Rob are. To work there in the shop I dont know as never went for work done. The service manager knows his stuff from my limited dealings with him. Some day when I have money to through away( well more then I do now...lol) I'll get a z28. Used

I usually firm up the rear for the street but on the track it's to tight. Square set up helps big time. Both my sways are set in the middle setting.

Hopefully I don't need to rebuild my coil overs for a long time.

With the stagger setup I had, front bar was soft but still had to have more rear shock
Right now mine are 1 turn softer in back and is almost neutral in normal street driving. I have the pedders bars and they are 27 front and 32 rear. Rear not adjustable so front needs to be in the middle at least. That way I will at least have a range of coilover adjustment if needed, as the bars should be used to balance the car and shocks to fine tune.

For the track I have to soften the rears 4-6 clicks. It rides good soft on the street till I hit a bad bump or a big dip. Harder rides rougher but it's easier on the big bumps and stuff.

yeah same with pedders, softer absorbs bad roads better but gets progressively more bouncy and not controlled. Firmer to a point makes it more stable, but I find basic body motions on our bad roads are the same with the stiff springs, just softer or stiffer is all.
For auto x stiffer rear helps bring the backend of the car around better if the front bar is set right or close.

The pfadt's soak up the rough roads good and are controlled and not bouncy on a soft setting but almost seem to bottom out easily with a big bump or anything heavy in the trunk. I think it's partly due to the ride height I am at. If I raised it I think it would be better but I wouldn't be able to stand the fender gaps lol

Pedders do also but have that pogo stick effect on the rippled road surfaces, yet compliant, I as most that report in feel the springs are to stiff at 450/550 rates, great for track courses and set firm, but around town at slow speeds the normal comfortable setings not as stable, on the freeway the ride is greatand on washboard sections no worse then drop springs and koni shocks I had on
my 98. Overall good and about as good as can be expected for at track type
coilover
As to drop mine are a little under 1 inch front and 1.25 inches rear. The 285/35 tires only added about 3/8" more wheel well gap but not that noticeable. Definitely dont wont to raise it though..lol

Needless so say I am happy with mine. I knew I would sacrifice a little but not much. Way more advantages than disadvantages.

Did you get the PSS? Or you still running the nitto's?
