Default A switch to pushrod and lever suspension?

Hi Tadge,

In the press, the C7 is often criticized for suspension damper efficacy
when compared to sports cars the use some type of strut suspension.

Of course, the C7's canted shocks can't match the wheel travel/
suspension travel ratio of a strut's nearly 1/1 ratio.

A pushrod and lever suspension could resolve the issue while still
retaining the Corvette's low fender height.

The only big drawback for this that I can see for this....
It would be expensive to build.

Kind regards from sunny SoCal,

Steve
