Recommendations: C7 Z51 MN7 MRC Suspension changes/improvements
So I have a 2014 Z51 MN7 with MRC.
We fundamentally do autocross .... a lot.... 25 events this year.
We are quite pleased with the cars abilities, with OEM tires (when the weather is hot.... when it is cold, that's another issue).
I am getting larger wheels (19x10 front, 20x11 rear (versus 19x8.5 and 20x10 rear stock).
I will run Toyo R888 tires (315x30x20 rear, 305x30x19 front).
I have 1.7 deg camber front, 1/16" toe out front (on each wheel),
and 1.2 deg camber, 0 toe rear (on each wheel).
So, what would anyone recommend for any suspension improvements, to make it handle even better?
I hate the thought of replacing the MRC shocks with coil-overs.
Also that would probably lower the car too much so it would rub.
But.... springs, sway bars, etc. ???????
