GS vs Base model suspension
I bought a 2010 Grand Sport suspension and wanted to know what the differences are from a standard corvette?
Are the control arms any different? I suspect that it is just sway bar rates and spring rates?
Any help would be great. Just building a project and want to see if the GS model will bolt in just like a base model.
I heard that the GS and Z06 are different animals on the upper arms. Hoping that is incorrect info.

I read it as, he has purchased a suspension.
for a project.
I`m building a c3 chassis with c6 suspension lots to do
, the best way to learn is to have a go, if things don't work as you may expect , do more research and have another go at it

The project is my 1958 Chevy Apache. I bought the suspension and part of the drive train from AES Auto. I have the VIN number and know it was a GS(2012 not 2010 as I mistakenly posted on post #1). Just trying to determine if the spring rates will work or if I should go with coil overs. I'll work out the bugs as I go. Not sure what the heck "mmmmm" means?? I suspect that was a call out for something illegal???
VIN is 1G1YU2DW8C5109940.
