Default 2006 C6 Coil over install Penske 8200 LE 3 12 09

I was able to get a great deal on these Penskes 8200 LE dual rate spring and height adjustable from HardbarUSA. These are totally upgradeable coil overs. I am a jewelry aficionado, so these look like jewelry to me. Oh well they are going to get dirty on the track...sometimes the pics are from different sides TOTAL pic set http://www.flickr.com/photos/drivinf...7615264313618/

front before with the aftermarket bilsteins it has the brake duct kit on as well as the transversal leaf spring

bilsteins removed and everything disconnected

Looks great! What's the difference between these and the new Pfadt's?

Very nice Mark. Penske has always had a nice dampener!

Default Texas Mile last weekend march 27-29 2009 results w coilovers

Seems like the faster I went the tighter the coilovers held for me at the top end....the stock leafs let me drift above 160 or so previously

LINK for the MILE I just posted

The small black clevis mounts on the upper part of the shocks are all 4 corners, but the big red clevis is for the lower rear only. These are all Hardbar specific parts.
