Default HyperCo direct replacement leaf springs

Hi guys,

Looking for an upgrade for your factory leaf spring? HyperCo has just the answer for both C5 and C6 alike.



The Hyperco High Performance Track Series (HPT) Corvette C5/6 Composite Leaf Springs combine front and rear springs to give the optimum setup for Track-Time and all out racing events. The quality of this product is superior to any aftermarket product to date.

These springs have been developed to deliver rates of 625 lbs. per inch in front and 850 lbs. per inch in the rear. Hyperco HPS Street Springs also available. The HPS Street springs are rated at 565 lbs. per inch in front and 765 lbs. per inch in the rear.

The Height Adjusters for these springs have been made with a hard Delron Pad to allow instant response.

Hyperco Composite Leaf Springs retain their design arch (no sagging / chassis inconsistency) and provide more side bite off the corner. It allows teams running leaf springs to be consistent night after night without having to constantly measure, monitor and change their springs for loss of arch / sagging. The initial cost is a value based on the incredible service life.

Faster...Incredible Side bite... Quicker off the corner.

Pair these up with a set of Bilstein or Koni shocks for a complete spring and shock package! Add T1 bars and LG links for a complete Corvette track pak!

While they give you significantly more adjustability, for "occasional track day" use coilovers are, IMO, overkill and better suited to more extensive racing use. To me the HyperCo springs are a less-expensive compromise and provide an excellent upgrade to the stock springs - I have them on my auto-x car and they work quite well.

The answer for you depends on what you intend to do with the car and/or who you're trying to impress - coilovers certainly have a higher "bling" factor . Either way, LG is the way to go for the install and setup - they do excellent work and stand behind it.

The HyperCo spring will be an improvement over stock, especially for those that can not run coil overs by what ever series rules allow, or do not want the investment of the coil over package.
