Default best suspension upgrades? ls2 c6 coupe 2lt

Looking at adding some suspension upgrades before horsepower upgrades, where's the best place to start?

Look up the johnny o connel kit (phadt) and some z51 springs. If you want to go all z51 set up (springs and shocks) I have a set to sell if interested?

What kind of budget do you have and what do you plan to do with the car?

Small budget, Z51 bars, bigger budget, http://www.pfadtracing.com/catalog/p...roducts_id/147

We have all kinds of products for all kinds of budgets!

If you're pretty budget conscious we have our Johnny O'Connell Stage 1 package which includes replacement shocks and sway bars. We've heard repeatedly from multiple customers that it's the best 1000 bucks that they've ever spent on a car. The increase in roll stiffness and shift in overall balance of the car because of the sway bars, as well as the revised valving in the JOC shocks makes the car much easier to drive the car faster over all kinds of road conditions.



We also have more elaborate packages revolving around our FeatherLight Generation Single Adjustable Coilovers. Both our Aggressor 1, Aggressor 2, or Johnny O'Connell Stage 2 packages would be a great complement for street cars looking for a more aggressive stance, improved track performance, and flexible settings for great street comfort or aggressive track use.

It really depends all on what your goals for your Corvette really are. These cars really do respond fantastically to a few suspension modifications. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to give us a call at 1-888-972-2464 or you can shoot me an email directly to jarrett@pfadtracing.com
