Does anyone know where I can get some custom made coilovers?

I will start off by saying that I am new to the VIP scene. I don't have a traditional platform and I don't plan on doing the all out VIP car. With that being said I love the stance and look of the VIP cars and I would like to acheive this on my 2007 Saturn Aura XR without using bags or hydrolics. I really want to put a nice set of coilovers on the car and slam it to the ground. Does anyone know any companies that make custom coilovers. I've done some searching and can't seem to find any. Any help would be much appreciated.

i'm sure there are coilovers available for another car (which shares your platform). just research which one is it and buy the coilovers available for it.

no need to get "custom" C/O unless you wanna pay out the ass.

Ok I found some of the cars that share my platform and the only one that they make coilovers for is the Saab 9-3. So I think I am going to buy them from a local shop and see if they work that way if they don't I can just take them back with little hassle. Hopefully they work though. I did some research and the only thing that looks different from my stock strut assembly to the coilover is where the brake line attaches to the assembly. So only time will tell. Wish me luck:biggthumpup:

Yeah, try KW for the fiat chrono or opel signum. I think the saab chassis is similar, but atad shorter.

I recommend building a Ground Control setup with short-stroke inserts from Koni (sorry, normally I'd look them up for you but I'm on my way to falling asleep)

edit: that's if you choose custom. cross-vehicle part sourcing is way easier if it's possible

OK I've been researching some more and the opel vectra c is like the same exact car as the saturn aura. I found a company called supersport that makes coilovers for the vectra and my qeustion was has anyone heard of them and if so does anyone have them installed on their car. If so let me see some pics or get your feedback on how they ride.
