Default Suspension

WOW, i had the base suspension and absolutely couldn't stand how horrible it handled. I went with the Hotschins sway bars combined with the Bilstein Sports and the difference is amazing! Nice and stiff. :)

Thanks for everybody who recommened them!

I had the base as well and went with hotchkis/bilstein sports. The difference was amazing, I did not find the ride harsher at all and the car feels glued to the road. I can't believe the actually sell the vette with the stock suspension.

What would happen if you change the spring too? Why didn´t you do this?
Or is that OEM spring OK?
