Default Re: GB: DRM Coilovers

I re-did my setup last year using 400/275s. I am using Moracca valved Bilsteins
and did a full replacement of the front bushings w poly. I have thought about going w 300 in the rear. The taller 19" Z06 wheel on the right rear will rub slightly on the inner part of the wheel well when hitting some dips in the road.
Another solution might be to use a slightly thicker spacer on that side to push the right rear tire out further matching the positioning of the left rear. As we know, the left/right wheels positioning is not symmetrical on our cars. Right side is slightly shorter than left.
Overall, I really like the feel and ride of the coilovers. My preference is for a tauter, tighter ride. I was one of those crazies that actually liked the Z51 setup on my 84. 200# lighter than the ZR w 11" rubber on the back and C5 brakes up front. Handled very nicely.
The poly really tightens things up in terms of road feel and transient response. Not a Porsche but much better than stock. I usually am on the SPORT setting for daily driving. Al drove my car and really liked the setup and felt it was a better feel than his stock Bilsteins.
