I like LG coilovers. How it looks will depend where the owner sets them. You can slam them or not so asking for a picture is kind of silly.

Pfadt is out of business so you can't get them. You might be able to find a used set. I know several people with 1 leaking shock so if you could buy 3 good coilovers from each of them you could have 2 spares for when the others leak. Or you can get the LGs and have a better performing coilover.

I would look at either LG's or DRM's. Both are vendors of the board, and have good support and products.

RideTech...

100% American made and have been in the suspension game for a long time.

Shocks are made by Fox
Springs are made by Hypercoil

Highest quality I have seen yet for coil overs. Not to mention they are backed by RideTech's 1,000,000 mile warranty, basically lifetime, Im not aware of ANY other company offering that on coilovers.

They recently brought these to market for the corvettes. East Coast Supercharging was one of the first to have them as well as me to test them and give my review on them.

Anyone that knows me (anyone who hangs out in the forced induction sections) knows I am extremely opinionated and hard to impress. These things are solid, american made, build by reputable companies and backed by one hell of a warranty.

Yep Ridetech is another great option and shows great promise. Just haven't seen many results from them yet.

LG I have used both types that they make and was extremely satisfied with both the GT2 and the G2, I would also add the Swaybars while your at it. That combination of change makes a night and day difference to the car. I had one shock broken by a clown that was working on the car and they bent over backward to help me out by overnightning me a replacement unit and waited for me to get it then pull the bad one off the car to send it back to them. Service after the sale is top notch.
