DSE coilovers, BMRs goodies and CF Trunk Lid

Hey Camaro6! Lohla got a whole new set-up this week at JDP Motorsports. I'm happy to report the new stance looks aggressive and the Anderson Composites trunk compliments the hood nicely.

Follow the build on YouTube if you'd be so kind. Thanks for the support Camaro6!

Those are nice coilovers. Are they available for purchase? Their website doesn’t have a 6th gen section.

I bought them under the assumption that they are as good as it gets. I love them. I got them from JDP Motorsports. Click the link below to see them for the 6th gen. Let me know if I can help. Tell JDP that Jared and RedRacer Video sent you!

DSE for me. JDP has run the DSE/JRI stuff under very very tough conditions with nothing but excellent results. JDP has a ZL1/1LE in the shop right now. The owner yanked the stock shocks/struts. JDP is versed. I typically go with what they say. I asked about the 1LE stuff and Jordan said we wanna run these. I just agree and move on LOL.

They aren't for everyone, thats for sure. You've gotta be pretty serious about max effort performance to go quite this crazy.

There's not much info on JDPs site, hoe is the coilover bar mounted and is it required. Have any pics of them installed. Your vid really doesn't show much.

You need to run the rear tower bar. The coilovers mount differently than the OE rear shocks did. I'll have a video up on my channel shortly. I'll be out driving this weekend to get a feel for things and i'll shoot a review and first impression video. CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel. It would be greatly appreciated. I'll be sure to show how they adjust and how the bracing works and everything. Thanks for pointing out the things i missed in the install announcement video.

Already be a subscriber, got the pin and everything so when it comes out I'll see it.

They be expensive so I'm really looking forward to hearing your review and the adjustability of the settings, not concerned so much the ride height. Be sure to mention which set you have, single or double adjustable and what the spring rates are, if they wanna give up the info.

I have the GM lowering springs and struts/shocks and feel the rear could use more control. Otherwise I like them. The spring rates are good for street use and really don't need more.

So get busy......... thx

I was thinking the EXACT same. Its DSE, not an entry or midlevel coilover system.

Most wont have a need for this level of suspension, but its like any other mod.. and these should be considered an investment and not just a Fly by Night Part

I guess I'm used to buying parts for rice-burners. Motons/Ohlins/AST top shelf stuff used to be around 1K per corner max. Decent ground-control/koni combos could be built for 2K for something like a WRX or EVO or 240sx.

Oh well, that's what I get for buying a real car.

Can spring rates be easily changed? What are the spring rates? Camber plates included up front? Why the spring geometry change in the rear? You guys piqued my interest LOL
