hardlight - GM claims they produced only 1 automatic Z-07 in 1991. 1 out of 733, pretty rare, congrats!

The FX3 settings on the shocks are firmer on the 92 than they are on the 91.
I'm going to throw a red flag, and challange that statement.
:D

Let me check the black book when I get home and I'll update with the text. I could be wrong but I remember reading that.

There is a Hib Halverson suspension chart somewhere on the internet that decribes all the trick stuff our cars have. :cool: :cheers: :seeya
here is the link to the Suspension Chart
http://corvetteactioncenter.com/tech/c4/susp_chart.html

I printed a copy and saved it awhile back, because I can never remember what site I found the stuff on when I'm poking around on the net.
cheers,
:auto: :cheers:

well mine isn't a z07 checked the rpo's which i new i didn't have 9.5" wheels all the way around already. However, I have most everything else the z07 has beside the wheels G92/G44 3.07's, j55 heavy duty brakes, fx3. So from what i have read the z07 came with 275's all around... mine has 285 so i have the features of z07 and more grip. Kinda a toss up isn't it more grip but u guys are more rare can't decide which i would want u can always go up in tire size with your z07 but if your like me i try to keep mine clean and stock looking, and not let the mod bug get me lol.

well until now i thought my dad really did great when he bought it new in 95 i'll have to tell him he missed out on the z07 optoin :lol:

my ride=95 convert A4

And the vert frame like a wet noodle.

You're lacking the roll bars and the spring rate

Z07 was available on coupes only, so if he wanted a convertible then FX3 was about his only possible suspension option.

The 285's you have are only in the rear... you have 255's up front. I doubt you are running solid sway bars (30mm/26mm or 30mm/24mm) and you don't have the same springs we do, nor the firmer bushings.

Besides that, you've got the same suspension as us. :D
