What are you running at the moment? I am about to get some Mallett/Penske coilovers for my C6 Z06 and the guy reckons they are about 600-700 at the front and only 300-400 rear.
I want a ride that is better than stock on the street and very firm and controlled on the track. They are remote reservoir and the bump damping is adjustable from the reservoirs which is great as you don't have to jack the car up. (Rebound is on the shocks, but apparently doesn't need much tweaking once dialled in).

The stiffer ones are for the rear of the yellow one! I feel they are a bit soft and bouncy over bumps.
I will get my tape out at the weekend and measure the current ones.

Hey Godzilla
Are you getting Penske in the UK to make them up ?
I got them to make me some custom 3 ways for the 930 - really good - but really expensive !!

No I'm getting Mallet Cars in the US to send over a built up coilover set.
Does anyone know if it is ok to send gas-pressurised shocks by air freight?
AIR SHIP WAS`NT A PROB WHEN I GOT THESE.
VETTEHEAD HERES THE THING ,TO KNOW WHAT LBS

COULD`NT SEEM TO GET THE RIDE HEIGHT WITH C/OVERS
WITHOUT PRELOADING THE SPRING WAY TO MUCH.

I can get the ratings of the current springs from the supplier LG Motorsports.
