Get a Guldstrand catalog. The first several pages are an excellent intro into Corvette handling. Herb Adams wrote a book (How to make your car handle)a few years back that is very good for race prep.

I have a file called Vette Improvement Program from John Greewood it's about 2.3 MB, and it has all in it, suspension, steering, brakes, tires, etc...

Re: Suspension Info (DollaGreen)

You can find Vette Improvement Program article on corvettefaq.com. You won't find a better document to start with. Look under the suspension section.
good luck!
