Any one using these coil overs? How are they? I'm doing my R&D for a my monster that I'm building and trying to see what works best from not, and how car can I stretch my budget for this project! Any advice would be appreciated.

DRM makes great stuff. Pdapt also makes a great coil over kit for about the same$$$.
Serious racers use Moton, Penske or JRZ which will run approx twice that but offer superior adjustability.
I run 2 way Motons on my current street track car and am building a track only car that will have 3 way JRZ's.

Similar in quality to Moton. Like I said, I have 2 way Motons in my street/track car, 3 way JRZs going in my track only car.

Nice looking ride buddy (white C5)! DRM - "Doug Rippie" has been around for long time and really makes a solid product. You can't go wrong there!

I have PFADT on mine and they are one of the best mods that I have done to date! Great ride quality and total adjustability.

Liking that hood! Did you notice reduction of engine temps with that on?

It looks like an ACP air extractor hood? I have one on my car as well. Great looking addition.
I didn't do that much to lower engine temps. The Don Davis radiator, tiger shark front and separate oil cooler made the biggest diff in my case.
Then again, I never had heat issues in the street. When I road raced, as I got more seat time under my belt more aggressive, I would be generating coolant temps over 255 and oil temps near 270 within 6 laps. That was not doing my engine any favors and I would literally have to pull over after 15 minutes on the track since the engine overheat light would come on.
With the above upgrades the coolant never gets above 225 and oil stays under 235, even on 90 degree days.

Eibach has my votes, expensive but worth it.
