Just WOW. I cannot believe how much I love these coilovers. This is the first time I was back at WGI since I had them installed. For the most I was at new tracks and although I knew they felt good I had nothing to compare them too until this week.

At WGI I had some issues with my old coilovers not absorbing the rumble strips to my liking. If it was up to me I would cut straight across them with all 4 tires like I see them do in Europe, but WGI flag stations frown on that so I cut back to taking a good chunk of them with only 2 tires (Hell turn one has all that extra pavement on the other side of the gators for a reason ).

This was not the case with the new setup. Heck I think I could of been drinking tea going over them that is how smooth they felt. More importantly though the car was not jarred and stayed 100% on track to where I was pointing it. This was a huge confidence builder and each lap I increased my speed into and around the chicane and then into turn 5.

Thanks Gary for another great product.

sounds great what were the old vs new lap times? Same tires?

Hey John I was not timing myself since it was a HPDE. I ran Hoosiers R6 like I normally do. Temps were cold 40 degrees and sunny. My focus point was around the chicane and turn 5 where I had issues in the past.

I know I was up a few mph in that area which I was happy about. I am sure there is much more room, but my right front tire just started showing signs of cording so I didnt push it as much as I could have.

Honestly even if my mhp were the same the confidence I felt with the Penske setup will only build my speeds in the long term.

I will be back next year and take some lap times. To date best lap time was on kumhos, c6 shocks and my old 346 h/c setup.

What sway bars are you running? Are you using the Penske DAs or triples? Finally, are you using the "standard" Hardbar spring rates?

Real data has no place on this site My air foil made may C4 feel faster also.


J/K I'm also considering getting Coils for my Penske, a few MPH = like 3 seconds at Mid-O, I sure could use that.

Hey Bob. Any pictures of these Coilovers? Price?

Are you still driving your car on the street? I am curious as to how they compare on the street compared to you previous set up?

Wicked Weasel

the words belong in the C5/C6 Gen area

usually I have more data to share and usually I dont say SOTP because frankly SOTP means nothing to me - quicker lap times do, but in this case I think confidence in my setup automatically equates to faster lap times and thus I dont have to time it to know that.

T1 which I might change out next year to test something smaller and see how that works. Right now I am happy with my setup, but after some research I am not sure I need a T1 bar anymore.

I am using Penske 8760 3 way shocks with the dual rate coilover.

My spring rates is the standard setup that Gary sends out. I made no changes except adjust 2 settings so that the turn in was more crisp. I use crisp meaning less flex at turn in. I personally like the feeling the suspension is real tight on turn in. Some people do not like this feeling.

I am though slowly backing it off just to see what it is like. Since it is a simple click to make adjustments I continue to play with them.

Wicked Weasel

much better on the street than the last setup. With a click you can change everything so you can make it to your liking.

have to ask Gary about costs. Here are pics off the car
