CORVETTE magazine Coilover vs. Leaf Spring Article
Just wanted to share a recent article from Corvette magazine written on the benefits of upgrading your C5/C6 suspension to coilovers. There are some great points in here that dispel the myth that coilovers are for race cars only. Johnny O'Connell has pointed out that "When we improve cars, it doesn't mean you have to be a racecar driver, it actually means the opposite. It makes the car easier to drive." This is precisely the objective when we sit down to engineer a product for the Corvette chassis.

The advantages of coilovers are undeniable. This quick article simply addresses what everyone already knows, but adds the street drivability factor to it. Sorry, we did not write the article so we can not quote any specify times. But this article isn't about times, it is about set up and handling behavior benefits of making the move to an upgraded coilover system.
We wil be releasing our Feather Light Generation coilovers very soon, and you can expect the same performance engineering to be featured on those, only more specific to track performance! Now those are coilovers to get times on!
