http://www.coilsprings.com/ is their website address. The owner has a
couple of nice A-bodies so he knows them well.
Coilover shock advantages usually include the ability to easily change
corner weights,ride height,good units have compression & rebound dampening
adjustment capability,and spring changes are easier & cheaper. Coilovers are
probably overkill on most streetcars,though.
There was a huge discussion on the ZR1Net awhile back about Redline
products. Since I don't own a ZR-1 anymore,I'm not sure I saved the
discussion in my archives. If I find it,I'll post a link.
