LGMotorsport.com amongst others do a complete car set of coilover fully adjustable ones for about $2,000 with the added advantage you can ditch the composite "leaf" springs! Pfadt Racing in the US also do sets.

Thanks vetteheadracer i don,t won,t to spend to much on the car as i have a track car and my vette is only used now an then as a road car.Ive owned it about 7 years and i lowered it when i first got it,but over the years the rear end is a little soft so i just want to stiffen it a bit.Thanks for your reply.

If you have F45s, dont forget if you fit non F45 shocks you'll need to fit resistors or delete the shocks with a Tech II prorammer or you'll get a DIC warning every time you drive. How about Z06 sway bars as an easier option?

No i don,t F45,i just thought changeing to a firmer shock would be the easy option but maybe i will try the swaybar route.I have contacted Ian Goss but im still waiting for reply.
