Coil-Overs???

I have a 2013 2ss convertible, looking to drop a set of Ciol-Overs on it. Looking for opinions on what you like and or have on your ride. I am not tracking the car just some spirited driving. Thanks for your opinions.

Check out the RideTechs. They are a very high quality American made product. They ride extremely well so they would be a good fit for your application.

If you're not tracking the car and are just doing it for better ride quality and some spirited driving, you may want to check into BC Racing Coilovers. They're very affordable and a lot of members have them with no complaints.

I have BC Racing Type BR coil overs. Great product and value. However, you have to drill 2 holes about 2" in your trunk for the damper adjusters and they do need the extenders.

We just installed a set of BC Coilovers on our customers SS and they love em! Great product for the value.

We also carry KW and Eibach if you decide to go that route.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

JT

I have megan racing coilovers, I love its adjustability i can make it ride stiffer or softer with a turn of a knob. Had it for 1.2k miles now and will be autoxing it next month.

My vote goes to RideTech. We've installed a few sets now and have very impressed with their quality and performance.






Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Did you guys ever figure out how to get your best coilovers to work with the Pedders adjustable camber plates? Im gonna order a set to have as back up when the Pedders gives out. Dont want to lose the camber plates though because they are very convenient going from track to street and saving tires.

I have not made a fitment to the Pedders camber plates. I won't do so until I have parts I can physically put together to verify it all works (our customers are not beta testers. . .they expect top quality parts that fit and work correctly the first time).

If someone can loan me a set, or sell me a set, of Pedders plates I'll make the fitment.
