JoeIR, how will the new Swift springs effect your alignment numbers?

Hi,

I was wondering what people thought was a reasonable price point on a set of rear shocks and front struts. I am in Salt Lake City and Pfadt Race Engineering has their shop here. They have a shock dyno and have made many custom Corvette street and race shocks. I know the owner Aaron and was thinking about seeing what they could do for a custom set for our cars. If I had a better idea of what most folks thought was a reasonable price point, I could see if that price might be worthwhile for them to spend the time on making a few sets for our cars.

Are people looking for adjustable shocks/struts or just a well damped street set?

Thanks, Mark.

I'd go 650 for all 4 - non adjustable

I am interested in a group buy for springs and any other suspension improvements. Love the car but the ride leaves alot to be desired. Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't wait and bought factory springs/shocks front & shocks for back of car: total including install: $1514 including "bushings". I can't do any labor; must rely on dealer or trusted installer. Still, keep me posted on progress.

Thanks,

Henri

Did these springs ever get made?

That would be very sweet. I'd be in.

You can count me in, anything is going to better then the current bottoming out from the rear I have now at only 80K on the car!

Try some of these to stop the bottoming-out aspect of the bad ride:
Energy Suspension 9.9103 Bump Stops - 99103

They'll give you about an inch and half more travel. Here's a pict comparing the stockers to the Energy Suspension bumps:

I you are worried about bottoming out, install the Matiz springs on the rear. A lot cheaper than anything around.
