These are a little bit stiffer than what I would consider "luxury"....the only way to REALLY know is to get them Retro..

I really would not want to find out that they are too stiff for me once I spent this kind of money retail and can't sell them.

What else is out there? Anything softer?

hmmm...let's see, who makes coilovers for the UCF10/11 LS's...

Valenza Sports, Crux, TOM'S Advox, Junction Produce, Hilltop, Win Racing, C's...

el Sport makes a threaded body Bilstein Shock setup...you need to get the springs though (lots of them too)...

Ohlins makes a notched adjustable (instead of thread, it has a set number of notches so it's height adjustable...just not AS adjustable as a threaded body) shock...

Don't have all the spring/dampening rate data on these so I can't say which is "soft" but none of these are cheap because they all need to be imported...

I think JIC makes a first gen LS application that *might* be available stateside. Anyone have info to confirm or deny this???

Dude, check the overboost link a couple of posts up. Pretty cheap for coilovers.

Manaray, I will need your help on something. I'll pm or e-mail you about it. Thx in advance.
