best place to get coilovers for a 2001 c-5

[driftdaddy]

weve just got a lowering kit from westcoastcorvettes to lower it but as its on leafs its slackened the ride now so now it handles like crap!!!
so i was just wondering if there was a prefered coilover? where is the best place to get them as we want to try and avoid paying more import tax from california

cheers dave

These are highly rated

Be careful with these - available in the UK, but the cheap version is just the damper, not the coil.

The 35261001 part number is the Adjustable damper kit only. This kit reuses your stock leaf springs, while allowing you to adjust the compression and rebound forces of the dampers.

The 35261011 is the coilover kit. This not only allows for the damper adjustments, but also for height adjustment, replacing your leaf springs with coils in the front and rear.

Hopefully this explanation helps!

I like how the standard C5 Z06 handles - ok it's a bit primitive - but once you get to know how to get it into a corner (and out) it's not a big deal

Obviously coil over change the whole way the car handles - not sure I'd want it - you're taking away something from it ?

[Gixer]

yeah, you're taking away the non-independent suspension and giving it real independent suspension

so basically there's zero downside

hi i got a set of the KW from Dom at Fearnsport http://www.fearnsport.co.uk/ for my C5 it handles pretty good. the only downside is the springs make twanging noises.
Its pretty annoying but i do like the adjustability and the handling
