Default Z06 comp suspension

I am in the middle of dealing on an 04 Z06, out of the four on the lot there is one with the comp suspension, would there really be an advantage in getting this suspenion over the stock Z06 suspension if it would be used mostly on the street but also as much track and auto cross as I can get in.? How much stiffer is the comp suspension?

The Z06 only comes with one type of suspension. Do more research!

If you're seeing a Vette with a Comp Suspension option, it's NOT a Z06! Very few options on a Z06, and suspension isn't one of them.

There is no such thing. The Z06 has only ONE suspension, its RPO FE4.

These guys are idiots for trying to market something that doesn't exist.

Now '04s have stiffer shocks that are considered an upgrade vs. pre 2004 years. ALL '04 Z06s have these stiffer shocks. Are you saying there are four 2004 Z06s or four Z06s of different years???

either or the car has some type of aftermarket suspension, it could be a T1 set-up it could be a great find or a really bad idea depending on what you want the car to do or any combination of aftermarket parts that someone else did

the 04 has stiffer shocks and sway bars... this was the ONLY suspension mod on all years of Z06... as well it is NOT an option... there are no options on the Z06... good luck... you can tell T-1 bars because they are BIG and BLUE....

I thought the sway bars were the same and only the shocks changed.

Have them show you the RPO code for the 'comp suspension' inside the glove door...

There are no suspension options on a stock Z06... Look at all the other Z06's they have and check the RPO list.
