Default Most comfortable ride?

Which suspension has the most comfortable ride for long trips? Stock, F45, or the new magnetic fluid suspension?

Stock ride is pretty plush. From what I heard, trashcan the run craps and the ride on all suspensions improves significantly.

I have the Z51 and EMTs, I personally like the road feel that I get. I drive for hours at a time and have no desire to get out of the car. :cool:

I will eventually ditch the runcraps in favor of non run flats, but for traction purposes. Even after 16k+ miles I still can't believe how nicely the Z51 suspension rides for how well it handles.

The magnetic fluid suspension should be the most comfortable and the best performing overall. It will be on my next Corvette unless I hear it has problems once cars get miles racked up.
