Suspension Recommendations
Looking to upgrade the suspension (coil overs specifically) on our 2010 Camaro, we primarily street drive the car with a bit of spirited driving, we don't track the car etc, but I want something that will make it handle better.
I am looking at: http://www.phastekperformance.com/20...-48-191845.htm Does anyone have any other recommendations for what to consider? Thanks! |

Check out the RideTech coilovers. We've been very impressed with the workmanship and ride quality as well as handling with these coilovers. They're US made with Hyperco springs and fox shocks. They're rebound and height adjustable and also come with a 1,000,001 mile warranty from a company who has been in business almost 20 years!
You'll notice a dramatic improvement in handling without sacrificing much ride quality. Couple them with a good set of sway bars and a few key bushings and you'll really be in for some fun. Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions or for advice. Best regards, Tyler 888-308-6007 |

KW coilovers are the best overall coilover kits on the market today when you're considering something made for street driving primarily. Sure they're a bit more expensive, but when I put the V3's on my car, I can easily say they were worth very penny. They have the best material construction quality of any coilover kit that I've seen. KW not only designs and manufacturers the coilovers, but they test them as well, to TUV certification levels. They also do this for each individual name plate which means they do it for Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Chevrolet and more. They also design and valve all the suspension dampers to each individual MODEL within that brand, so you're getting something truly unique.
KW's are designed with street driving in mind, that's what they're designed for unless you talk about the clubsport models. All of KW's essential parts are built in-house, they are not outsourced like a lot of other companies. Though to some, this isn't a big issue, but when you consider that gives them a very big advantage on the quality control of a system, other companies just cannot compete with that. TUV Certification, as I've touched on before, is the highest quality of certification that a company can receive in Europe. Getting TUV certification requires such a large amount of time to seek this endorsement, it's unbelievable. Each individual part such as the coils, the shocks, and the strut cartridges are individually tested, and then re-tested to insure that it meets or exceeds TUV's very strict requirements. Here's the kicker! Not only did the KW coilovers pass the TUV's rigorous requirements, but it did so on EVERY ride height setting, including the lowest possible setting available. I highly doubt most other coilover companies have the time or the energy, let alone the money to even do such a thing. The strut housing/shock bodies are T-304 stainless and they are completely impervious to rust, corrosion, acid rain, salt on the roads and of course any other things you might see such as that. All their brackets are 10.9 rated T-6 Aluminum alloy that are all anodized to prevent corrosion. KW has been the OE supplier to all the Mercedes-Benz AMG cars, which is an astonishing fact on itself, a real achievement to any company! |

I'll 2nd what Tyler said. The Ridetech coilovers have been very good.
We also offer the BC Coilovers which are an inexpensive option, if you are on a bit tighter of a budget. In addition to the coilover options, we have a complete package that will take your FE3 suspension and upgrade it to the FE4 style on the newer Camaros. If you'd like more info on anything feel free to PM or Email me. |
