Please give me you feedback as I am looking to jump on this coilover group prchase as well. Thanks!

mgg,

I have no idea what they were talking about? Do you have a link? I still have the FX3 on the track car and it works perfectly also height adjustment is not an issue at all. You will adjust the coilovers just as you would the non-FX3's. If you are interested in the group purchase just send me your name and what you would like (i.e. coilovers and brackets, just coilovers, just brackets) I'll get your name to DRM and you can place the order through them.

Not true. I adjusted my ride height w a spanner after having installed the coilovers. The one issue I had in the rear units was positioning the springs so that they cleared the half shafts. The springs sit asymmetrically and can be rotated so as to provide enough clearance.

Did you relocate the upper shock mounting points on the rear? This will keep the shock from coming into contact with the half shaft.

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

I did because my rears were mounted the old school way by notching forward. I reloaded my photos in my old thread you should be able to see this. At the time Carters rear bracket was still in early stages of production so I had to use the old school method. You can see the relocation in a couple of photos. I still however had to replace the dog bone trailing arms. GC

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Yes, the re-lo brackets were part of the installation but the clearance was VERY close. In fact, I had a telltale wear band around the half shaft. We were able to rotate the spring to provide enough clearance. I didn't find any issue in dog bone clearance as GC experienced.

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Daniel

Are the qualities limited?

I have another person who doesn't come on the forums who is VERY interested....


Thanks

David

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

GC ours are installed the old way as well. It would have been nice to have the brackets at the time but oh well :-({|= Thank you for posting a link to the install on your Z I think this will help some understand what all is involved.

Maybe it is just me but I have never had an issue with the trailing are (dog bone) clearance. I have installed on the 89 and on a friend’s 92 no issues what so ever.

David,
Yes, we are limited on this.

Daniel

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

GB still open?

If so I'd to sign up.

Thank you

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

You didnt upgrade to poly bushings. That why they are too fat. Poly adds more girth. Im not sayimg they wont fit they are just real close. GC

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

GC,
The 92 was not upgraded but the 89 is all poly we did that at the same time as the coilover install.

Yes, we have a few more please email me your info and I'll get you all set up.

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Was the 89 a WB ZR-1 LOL ? I'm just saying this was my experience and poly kits are not all equal. Just for situational awareness.

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

No, both were just regular Corvettes. I'd never hack up a 89 Z like I have this 89 :-D

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Daniel,
Randy has been trying to get in touch with me but not able to contact him until I return tonight or tomorrow. I sent a PM to him via other forum as well as via their website. I can only participate if they are willing to ship via USPS so I'll follow up. Thanks again for hooking us up with this deal.

Hang in there just a wee bit longer it'll be worth it http://www.zr1.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

Daniel

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Thank you to everyone that took part in this. This Group Purchase went over larger than what myself or DRM could have imagined. As of this morning we have only 5 people that have paid. If you contacted me and said you were doing this Group Purchase please call DRM @ 763-658-6109 ASAP and arrange payment and shipping. I will start emailing shortly those that signed up on the status and other information.

Thanks,

Daniel

** I had 15 sign up for either coilovers, brackets, carter brackets, or some combination of the 3. This was well more than what I ever expected to do thanks to everyone again!!!

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Thanks all who ordered and please pay soon so I can order materials, thanks again, Carter :cheers:

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

For those that took part in this group buy here's a quick update. Hyperco springs have been on backorder and DRM was told 2 week that and in speaking with Randy he said realistically more like 3 weeks. Well here we are 3 weeks later I have spoken with DRM and they have some in route to them so the shipping process will take place very soon.

Daniel

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Any updates?

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Hi Daniel,

I am still on hold waiting for Randy to get some in and provide the shipping options once he has a set to box and weigh to ship via USPS.

Thanks again,

Craig

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

All materials came in and I have been able to begin on the front and rear brackets and will hopefully be mailing out in 10 days. Thanks for hanging in there............:cheers:

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Hyperco is still dragging and DRM has not recieved the coil springs as of late last week. Everything is ready to ship at DRM just waiting on the springs. I will make a call today and get some dates. Sorry for the delay everyone.

Daniel

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

No problem.
No hurry.
Just wonderin'

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Misunderstanding:
Yep, I received your stuff, Carter.
But all the coilover mounting brackets in the world don't do any
good without the coilovers!

HYPERCO?

:icon_scra:dontknow:

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Damn, Ted.........you scared me on that one :sign12:

Re: GB: DRM Coilovers
 

Yes, HYPERCO is dragging butt! DRM has everything else ready and is still waiting on springs. Hyperco said the hold up is due to them moving the production shop but at this point IDK WHAT the hold up could be. I will call again on Monday when I get back in.

Thanks again for everyone that ordered!

Daniel
