Depending on how serious you are going to be with the coilovers you might be able to get by with some BC coilovers. Ride-tech would definitely be a good one if it fits in your budget. There is a big difference in price though.

I have radius rod inserts right now, not sure if/when I'll go with full bushings, but I know it won't be for a while.

I wouldn't bother unless you get a smoking deal or have some reason to have your radius rod off the car. I had the Pedders radius rod inserts and was talked into some Whiteline full bushings. I never really felt a difference. For the money I should've stayed with the Pedders inserts.

Either way, I'll be taking a hiatus for a while on the performance mods as I need to let my budget catch back up so I can get a car more suited for daily driving. In the interim, I may go with some cosmetic (spoiler, wheels, hex vents, ZL1 rockers) and some audio upgrades (speakers & amp) but even those may be a little while out. Time to enjoy my new upgrades for a bit!

Hmm...good find. I have some slight noise every once in a while but heinz joints (basically what the delsphere is) are known to make a little noise. I think logically they are the best design though.

Hopefully they'll get you a new one and that will fix your issues.
