I can only think of 1 coilover setup for our cars, and that is the one by JIC-Magic. Unfortunately, the first gen LS doesn't have a bevy of aftermarket options to exploit. But JIC is the only thing I can think There may be more out there, and hopefully someone will chime in but JIC is the only 1 I can think of.

I think that is for the Gen 2 LS's. I have been all over these manufacturers on their sites and have even called them...nothing for first gen.

Wald, Junction Produce, Anceltion, and Insurance also offer coilovers setups for the 1st gen LS. Only problem is that you'd have to import them from Japan (except maybe Wald).

You're right man...Japan has those for sure and many more options for these cars. I will do some research and post.

those are regular Tein CS and WILL NOT FIT THE UCF10-11 cars. the stroke needed is longer i believe so you will likely bottom out.

don't believe me? call tein, i have.
