with adjustable coil overs you can adjust the ride height without having to take the thing apart correct?

Just dropped ours today on H&R. Only complaint is I now have to angle into our driveway. Worth it for the look. See how I feel in a few weeks.

H&R springs, installed (about and hour) and alignment for $254.00 Love them but if you have the money go with Coil Overs.

will69camaro · 01-17-2010, 06:41 PM

Cool I did H&R on ours as well (as mentioned above)

I agree, if you have the money do coilovers however for the $200 I have in these, hard to beat the look.

What's the difference between springs and coil overs?

On most coilover kits you can adjust all sort of settings on them. Raise the car, or lower it. They are totally worth the money, but they arent cheap!

Just curious if anyone had or has had any issues with rub? I know on my Honda Element I used Tein Coilovers but still had rub issues. My rear fenders needed to be cut out but I see on C5 there is no issue for that since the wheels would go up in the wheel well without rub. Just curious anyone had any problems. I agree that closing the wheel gap looks so much better and the stance becomes aggressive!

It really depends on how flexible you want the coilovers to be. Basic coilover kits that allow you to raise and lower the car are around 1200 for the KW V1 (basic coilovers) , the KW V3 (very nice coilovers) that has tons of options to maximize your suspension run around $1800-2500 depending on the brand.

You don't have to remove anything with the Pedders suspension. There are adjustment knobs on the top of the strut towers for the front and you just have to crawl underneath the car and adjust the knobs near the bottom of the coilovers on the rear.

The same on the BC Racing for adjusting hardness and softness.
But if you want to adjust the height you have to take the wheel off.

BC $1050

Pedders $1400+
