Default Real Simple Question

I am looking to purchase a C4 for an ls1 swap. I would like to autocross the car and basically would like to know if there are any major differences in the suspension for all of the years ?

I will be changing what I can out but I do not know if there is anything I shoud look out for.

Marc

The simple answer is yes. The suspension was changed in 88. I think they changed everything past the control arm bushings.

89's have won nationals, I believe.

Are you saying you want to put an ls1 in a C4?

Didn't Roger Johnson's Corvette dominate SCCA Solo 2 for years? Maybe it was a C3.
