You can buy coilover setups that have adjustable ride height, but you still have to change the springs to change stiffnesses.

Where can I buy the coilover setups?

Thanks

HEY BUDDY HELP ME OUT... WHERE CAN YOU GET COILOVERS FOR THE 99-02 GT'S?

I bought mine from Griggs Racing. I believe they are offered in 25lb/in increments and different lengths. You can also buy them from Maximum Motorsports, Ground Pounder, HAL, D&D Motorsports, etc.

Thanks alot for the reply. I currently have the front coil overs from D&D installed, and have the rear coil overs(from D&D) on order. I know Griggs is top of the line, but I am definitely satisfied with the D&D coil overs. Thanks again

I HAVE SEEN THESE RANG IN PRICE ANYWHERE FROM $179 FOR THE FRONT UP TO LIKE $419 FOR THE FRONT...????? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

The quality of springs can vary and these are much of the cost of the coilover kit. Just make sure on the cheaper ones that they are a complete kit and not springs only or sleeves, perches, and bearings only.

WHAT SHOULD THE WHOLE KIT INCLUDE?

blue00gt · 05-02-2002, 06:46 PM

The kit I got included springs, threaded acme sleeves with matching collars that you can adjust up and down for ride height, the spring perch for the top of the spring, and a bearing for the perch to allow the spring to turn freely with the spindle and strut.
When you change to coilovers in front you really need to get an appropriate caster camber plate too since they are now bearing the entire weight of the front of the car. I would recommend Griggs Racing or Maximum Motorsports plates - I know the MM ones bolt to the tower in 4 places instead of 3 like most of the others. A strut tower bar is highly recommended also if you don't already have one.
