Suspension question
I have an 04 Vette and my question is..... When I'm on the highway or taking a turn and hit some bumps in the road, the car seems to loose contact with the road and the rear of the dances around.
Is the suspension that stiff on these cars? Or are my shocks worn ?
Stock shocks and springs with Z06 sway bars. And car is "not" lowered.

Thanks.
Our cars have a natural tendency to react the way you described under those conditions with the stock set-up at stock ride height. Before doing any serious changes to your suspension I would recommend that you have another alignment. It won't totally eliminate the tendency to "wiggle" over bumps but it can reduce it significantly. I'll dig up some specs for you to consider and PM them to you later.

If your Michelins are Run Flats, then yes - I would put them up for sale and get a set of Kumho MX - good tire performance for the price. The handling difference is like night and day.
