Thanks for taking a peek inside, looking at taking off the ridetech airbags and going to a coilover setup. Currently the car is setup with the TCI front and rear subframes. I would like pros and cons and any personal experience. Car will be street driven with spirited fun. The car has an LS1 and T56, so spring rates would help too.
I say Ride Tech personally. I have the triple adjustables. Although I've never driven my car yet, I'm just going off of what several other have said. Which is nothing but great things about the Ride Tech coilovers. That's what made me buy from Ridetech. Also, while considering buying Ride Tech coilovers, I called Ride Tech and spoke to Bret (the owner) personally and he was such a great guy and explained his product to me, I was sold from then own. Also, the shop that built my chassis said they were diehard QA-1 fans until Bret Voekel persoanlly flew down and visited their shop and showed them what makes Ride Tech coilovers different from all other brands.
Go w/the RideTech's.You won't be disappointed.The ride quality of the ride tech's is so smooth.The build quality is second to none.For the money they the best shock on the market.
"For those that don't know the guy that has been building our shocks passed away last year at the NHRA race in Vegas. The family has been gracious enough to fulfill our current and backlogged orders but we had to begin shopping for a replacement manufacturer. After looking at many different avenues we came back to the obvious choice. The changeover won't officially happen until April so that will give us a chance to test them on a few different cars to make sure all is well."

Those shocks work very well, we would have never made the change had we not lost Ray last year. We were surprised at how similar the dynos looked between our double adj and the Ridetech triple. The adjustments were very linear on both. I'd just run them until they die.

Our coil overs and ShockWaves are already available as a dropship through TCI. I would encourage you to order through them as they know exactly what you will need and can explain precisely what mount modifications need to be done for prer fitment. (it's a very small amount of filing or grinding of the mount ears for shock body clearance, no welding or cutting)
