Is there a set of coilovers that offer a stock ride height? The kw's seem to have at least a 1.3" drop.
I figure lower it in the summer and bring it back up in the w... wi... *cough* winter

You might want to check out my thread on the Pfadt shocks. If Aaron can get enough interest from the Kappa community, he has enough information to produce these. You can go from stock ride height to lowering it to the ground. You can use stock or custom spring setups. Lots of options and hopefully a matched set of adustable swaybars to follow.

Shabby, you just need to ask da man.

Gravana has a set with adjustable ride height from stock. The comp and reb adjustment crosstalk, so I like KW more, but the price is very appealing.

Send me that contact info. thx

The car comes with coilover shock suspension from the factory. Look under the car...

There are a number of optional suspension packages available. The one that has not been mentioned yet is the GM Performance Parts performance suspension package. It has a nearly stock ride height.. It lowers the car by about 1/2 inch.

shabby is looking for adustable coilovers so it can be lowered for summer and for raised winter driving. Factory and GMPP coilovers are not adjustable.

I thought the KWs were fairly close to stock when you fully raise them.

B&G has a coilover kit that has stock height and adjustable down two inches or so. This is the set mentioned earlier on Gravana's website.

Right now I have my KW all the way up, And it looks stock. But I had lowering springs on my car for a year. So that might change the way I look at my car. But it does look a bit higher then my lowering springs.
