Default Z07 Suspension

Could someone please elaborate on what Z07 suspension is.
All I have been able to find out is that it is either "heavier duty suspension", "adjustable suspension", or "handling suspension". What parts are different etc.?

i believe the z07 suspension had thicker front sway bar, 13" rotors in the front, oil cooler, and FX3 adjustable suspension?

That may not be 100% accurate.

Got me thinking, are there folks here that when they speak, you accept the words as the gospel??

something like:

Z-07 freak = Z07 option questions
Wow. With pressure like that I guess I should post a informative answer now.

Z07 is a package, titled "adjustible suspension package", available from 1991-1995 on coupes only.

The Z07 includes;

FE7 - "heavy duty" suspension (which includes stronger springs, thicker sway bars, larger front SLA, and fast steering ratio)

J55 - 13" heavy duty brakes (became standard on all Vettes in `95 &`96)

FX3 - adjustible shock absorbers

KC4 - engine oil cooler (on `91s only)

driver & passenger 6-way power seats (most have the optional "sport" seats)

electronic A/C

Delco/Bose CD & cassette Gold stereo

6-speed manual or 4-sp auto which required G92 3.07 performance axle.

The springs, are the biggest component that comes to mind for the 1990 year
FX3/Z51 cars combined, have base springs


Obviously, in 1993+ cars, the wider wheels make up a big part as well
