Shocks are shocks they don't change the height that's just the spring. Coilovers are the only instance the front struts would be smaller otherwise they are all the same with springs as well.

Now add a hardcore or XXX rear swaybar.

That was probably the biggest improvement to the suspension I have done, was to add the hardcore rsb. I'd recommend everyone to get one.

I just got some random rear bar off Kdub1492 he had no idea what brand even lol and its awesome. Id bet any bar will make a dramatic difference in handling. Personally id save the xxx bar for the pros that track the car haha

That sounds scary at high speeds, especially under power

Wouldn't that make the whole sway bar completely useless/pointless??

Stopped by the body shop today, the insurance adjuster stopped by yesterday took pics of damage and got in contact with whoever assigned the case to him apperantly they are needing a few more approvals for the claim to go thru

Still handles extremely well under high speeds, cornering. We've been lied to this whole time. No need for sway bar. And there's no more body roll than when they were connected. I love being low.

Well the shop talked to the insurance so the shop told the insurance that paint cant be matched so they know the car needs a complete paint job, i guess they are getting the supervisors to approve the claim and after that i should get a complete paint job, fingers crossed

Did the dual pass mod using the GM endplate, changed the laminova core seals with ZZP replacement seals, also changed the SC oil and coupler and changed the two gaskets as well.

Now I just gotta do a proper flush of the intercooling system and work on the Option B.
