Hi everyone,
I am a new owner of a 2002 Corvette. I have always wanted one as long as I can remember. I sold my 2017 Camaro SS and bought one outright. I have been trying to find someone around the Sandusky Ohio area to delete the active suspension F45. Need help any suggestions?

Moved to C5 General, but you may want to also check in the Great Lakes Regional section.

Welcome aboard! Got any plans for the new ride besides the shock fix?

Welcome to the Forum, Joe, and congratulations on your C5!
Vetteman Jack's recommendation sounds like a good approach to finding someone to tune out the active suspension. You may also see if you can find any Corvette clubs around you - not every club posts in the Regional section, so searching out clubs, may also help you find someone who can do this for you.
Best wishes with this.

I had a 03 anniversary with leaky shocks. I did not want to buy the expensive replacements, so I took the car to the local chev dealer to reprogram the computer to think that it is a not active handling equipped. Worked out great!

Welcome! I am located outside of Columbus, but there is a corvette shop called Corvette Care located in Hilliard, OH. He is great and did my F45 delete. He is very busy so you may have to wait a couple weeks, but his work is great.
