Yes, these are excellent also.ScDFACHE said:I am running the DRM Bilstein coilovers which are similiar and am very happy.

Setup is everything. You should take your car to one of those shops.
MSI, DRM and LG shocks are very similar.
MSI is in Roseville, California
DRM, in Neveda.
LG is in Texas.
Penskes are probably the best, but cost their weight in Silver. lol
Excellent question!robiferretti said:lou what do I have to do if I blow a shock, I live outside NYC. are these rebuildable or do I have to buy a new one?

Do you use the spined Schroeder anti-roll bars?L G Motorsports said:For road racing this would be the soft set up. When we use wings and splitters, the spring rates have to go up.

Our coil over set up uses full aluminum Bilstein shocks unlike the others. We use the same shocks on our World Challenge race car (just finished 3rd at St Pete).
We provide all the necessary brackets to mount them to your stock location and our set up eliminates the rubber "Bayonet" connection at the top. Ours come with spherical bearings except lower rear.
We use only Hypercoil springs and the coustom valving on our shock package was developed by me at the race track with over 100 hours of on track testing. Our spring rates are about 10% heavier than a Z06 and when you put them on with a T1 bar set up you will be in for a pleasant surprise.
If you are not a shock expert, then a 7 way adjustable shock will give you 6 ways to be wrong. ( Actually 7 factorial)
thanks and give me a call and I will go over the benefits with you
thanks

That's a very valid observation, but considering Lou has a "hundren" of those shocks in his trailer, revalved and rebound for every and each track and ready to be swaped right there - so it's not a problem to himace67 said:Just one question how can a unadjustable coilover kit be good
at the track and just as good in the street ? To me it sounds like a big compromise ... please enligthen me. I rather have the possibibilty to go wrong than not have it. I would by a reasonable priced coilover kit instantly if i had a shock which is adjustable and of good quality, and yes i have had coilovers before and yes they where adjustable and iam still alive
.
IMHO there is just one thing i dont like with the Vettes and thats the "crosstalk" or sliding or whatever you would like to call it, it really sux my Volvo handles better than that when the road is a little bumpy.

Our street/track kit is a little stiff for the street but a great package for the track on a car without wings or splitters. We raise the rates with the aero package cars.
I used to work for Volvo of America 20 years ago and there was NEVER a volvo that compared to a Corvette.
Here is a link to a video that will show you our shocks in action.

Road Atlanta 2 weeks ago. Qualified 5th stalled on the start and worked my way up until a broken Volvo diff did my in. (just kidding)
At any rate, you can ask any of the guys that were up at Road America track day 2 years ago where I gave rides in my street car with our Coil over package on it. We ran a 2:24.xx with a passenger and no wings. I think we ran a 2:18 in our World Challenge race car.
Thanks

PS, all the cars in the video had adjustable shocks except me, I had our Bilstein non adj shocks on. LG
