I was sitting around thinking about getting new springs/shocks and I had always wanted coilovers. I have not spoken to any companies about it as they are not a direct fit. BUT, maybe we can get some people to talk to whoever makes the coilovers that fit the G6 and we can try and get a group buy if there is enough interest?? Let me know what everyone thinks of this idea.

Re: Would people be interested in getting coilovers??
If you think about the cost, it wouldn't be that much considering it would cost a few hundred more than getting new springs and shocks. Plus its a better ride and handling than lowering springs. I haven't contacted any companies, just trying to see if people think it could work.Current mods:

To be honest; No. They won't make them for the G6. Just buy some for a Saab 9-3. They fit you just need to flip a camber plate. Literally 4 screws. Then you just need the bolts to attach them to the car.1972 F100

Where it felt good to me. I never measured it. I believe the rear is definitely lower than Eibachs, and the front may be about the same.1972 F100

Re: Would people be interested in getting coilovers??
I know they don't fit, i thought that we could talk to a company and see what they say, like you said, its just a flip and a few bolts and they fit right in so it wouldn't be that big of a deal. It was just a thought to see what people think.Current mods:

The company won't because they have to R&D it. Yes its easy, but if something goes wrong and someone dies they lose more money than they will ever make.1972 F100
