F41 Special Front and Rear Suspension
On the 67 corvette they offered the option F41 front and rear suspension. How was this (F41) different from the factory stock suspension?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Learn something new about these cars all the time....I just replaced mine (factory F-41 L-71) and did not realize there were two different lower mounts. I probably installed the incorrect ones.....

The F41 rear shock mounts also move the bottom end of the shock inboard about another 1/4" to maintain clearance from the larger-diameter F41 shock body to the spindle support.

It is VERY close quarters with the F-41 shocks. Paragon only lists one P/N for each side, and those are the ones I installed (I buy everything from Paragon). I'd need to look back and see if the ones I removed were originals with any markings to identify them.
