Need Some Input Coilovers on A Budget

[Nicks67GTO]

thanks for the reply, as appealing as the cpp c5 kit seems and i could do with out the drop spindles for tall spindles if need be but i dont know if i would trust the c5 kit from them from what i have read..

As far as rim size is conderned i will be running 17in us mag 102 wheels up front so i should be ok to go with big breaks if possible



Thank you guys for the replies

CampbellshotrodsAZ's -- What would you possibly recommend for brakes on the front end?

There's a fairly "inexpensive" way to do C6 front and 2002 Fbody rear brakes. Using the stock drum spindles, turning your drum hubs down under 6" in diameter, get some c6 brackets and braided lines from Tobin @ kore3. Find some used c6 calipers and abutments on ebay, rebuild them. Find an 02 Fbody rear brake setup in a junkyard, blast and rebuild those. Go to the stop tech website and select your rotors. You can get matching rotors this way. Buy those through summit. Go with a tuff stuff 9" dual diaphragm booster, an 02' right hand drive S10 master cylinder from amazon for 50 bucks, wilwood prop valve and bam...you pretty much have modern brakes that will haul the car down and fill out your wheels on the cheap. If you have questions, look over my build thread or feel free to pm me.

The other thing about this is later on, your stock spindles will work with other suspension kits. Lots of them add a tall ball joint top and bottom to their a arms to clean up the geometry. UMI and SC&C both come to mind. If you want to lower your car you can achieve that with aftermarket springs.
