Default good leads on where to buy Van's coilovers

I've been looking around at a set of vansteel coilovers, getting ready to buy and it looks like ecklers is probably the best /cheapest. Just wanted to see if anybody's got a better lead on a set before I call them.

Why not just call or look up online Van Steel themselves? Had great service from them when I’ve ordered stuff👍🏻

Ok.......anywhere other than Van's is what I should have said lol. I noticed just looking around a little that directly through Van's is actually higher priced than some other sites?? You'd think buying directly from them would be the cheapest but for some reason it doesn't seem to be that way🤔.

Dempsey Anderson at Evolution Motorsport Engineering has recently come out with a full set of coilovers for our ZR-1's and other cars. I believe these will be a first 1/4 purchase for me. The old shocks and springs will go into storage. He has just completed work for me on a recently purchased 91. He is a great guy to work with and will offer advice/pro and con based on your desires and goals.

Good luck with the search.

Yes I am aware of their coilover kit they have been working on and have been waiting for them to finalize/release them but I don't think they have made them available yet have they?

He says they are expected soon.
Should be worth a call to confirm details.
Happy hunting.

Van Steel has been working with racers and tuning vette suspensions for years. They also have everything else for vette suspensions that you could need. I would call them and discuss your goals so you don’t end up off track.😄
