Hi All,

I am doing some research for the purchase of a C4 GS vette. Which of these two suspension systems is the most differences?

Other than a softer ride, are there any significant differences in performance?

Does the added complexity of the SRTD create reliability and replacement parts issues?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
William

Z51 will provide noticeable better handling, however the SRTD will give better ride quality, especially on rough roads. It just depends upon what you plan on doing with the car.

Have not heard of any problems with SRTD, never had any problems with mine.
