Very nice, and I like the tender springs on back....also, cheers for keeping a proper bearing plate for the front struts.
I just couldn't stand how stiff mine were, even with 300# up front and 200# in back on Koni dampers.
$1330 is cheap.
Let us know how the clearances work out for you......It was a tapdance with mine because the lower spring perch had to sit above the tire, or everything would rub - especially in the rear. I used 2.50" Eibach race springs.

In a word it will be a harsh ride especially with the 19's, but maybe who know maybe it won't be too hard too, I was able to move the rear shock a little (2 in) with my weight, but the front one... forget it lol, unmovable

So they fab'd a custom coil over setup?

Those are Sexy Guillaume!

I cant wait to have a ride in the beast!!!

It wasnt a really cool day to do suspension work....

Maybe I'll go see you tomorrow for that TPS thing. Maybe I can also give a little hand

Those are absolutely hot! It's really not a bad price for what you got either! Considering you'd be at around $750 for a set of AGXs and H&Rs.

Matt and Cliff, you've ridden in Scots car since he put in the OSV suspension right? Do you think that these would be as stiff a ride or stiffer than his?

These would give me the clearance I need to keep the Michelin Pilots 18's that came on my C6 wheels and I'm looking at all options.

Cliff8928 · 02-28-2009, 03:31 AM

I haven't ridden in scot's car actually... Though his ride appears to be WAY too stiff in the back for how stiff the front is.

I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to have a set of coilovers that rode soft.... Just get a lower spring rate.

will they make these for anybody? ga/alero guys?

I don't think so.....but IIRC, he runs 500# springs in front and 300# out back, so I can imagine that they are not too kind on the kidneys Also, I remember watching his car bouncing over the freeway expansion joints last year.
The problem I had was that even with the wheels I use (which have a +35mm offset, so the wheels are pushed out towards the outside of the car.....and I use stock-width 225mm tires), I didn't have enough clearance between the spring and the inner sidewall of the tire, so the lower spring perch had to stay above the tire. This meant having to use a shorter spring. Bear i mind that these cars don't have a ton of suspension travel (you are talking maybe 3" up front once lowered), so keeping a stiff enough spring is a delicate balancing act.
