Alright so here are some quick pics. I will get some good ones tomorrow.
Please excuse the poor quality and how dirty my car is. In the last couple of days I have added H&R coilovers, Rogue Engineering transmission mounts, ZHP shift knob, painted mufflers, and 35% tint on the windshield. 3" C6 tips being welded on tomorrow morning

I cant remember right now. Ill check tomorrow. RoffleWaffle I got the C6 tips from a corvetteforum.com member who lived near me. I just posted up on the forum saying I wanted to buy some stock C6 tips and he messaged me. I got the tips along with the entire factory exhaust including x pipe etc for 40 bucks and then cut the tips off and sold the rest of the exhaust to somebody for 50 bucks haha

Okay, these reviews are really getting me to think about these coils as an option as well. The KWs have their benefits I'm sure, but damn they're expensive. These look like they check off all the right boxes, including price.

These are the rates I recorded before installing the H&R set up. Sorry, I was only able to check the first 3" of travel. As others have noted, the ride is improved over the stock suspension, especially over ripples in the road. I found the ride became harsher once larger swaybars and camber plates were added. But the best news is no creaks or rattles. Last edited by BookerM3; 12-21-2011 at 02:22 PM.. |

the spring rates are progressive apperantly. thats probably why they feel smoother than stock under normal driving conditions and planted and firm in the corners. i have them set with no finger gaps, and they ride great.

I'm not sure how progressive they really are since the innitial travel is used to preload the springs into the purches. The way the coils are wound the larger coils are compressed almost completely at ride height at which point the tighter wound coils take over. (almost like a tender / linear spring set up)

Hey BIMMERGUY91 (question for you since you recently installed these), just curious if you reused the front strut tops for the coilovers? Also how did you gauge the setting for the adjustments as in did you count the threads or did you eyeball what height you wanted or are there instructions or notches for desired height? Thanks in advance.

Read somewhere that these units are essentially H&R springs matched with (?) Bilstein Sport shocks/struts; not necessarily a bad combo at all. Any confirmation of that from the owners?

Springs are H&R, Shocks/Struts are Bilstein. Not sure if the valving is the same as the "Sport" model.

jthorst yes I did reuse the top hats for the front. I just eyeballed them as far as adjustment and then just adjusted until i got everything at the height i wanted and everything even.
Yes they are H&R springs with Bilstein shocks/struts but I dont know what the valving is etc but obviously they are adjustable in height unlike a bilstein/h&r spring set up
