Default C7 Suspension information

Took this off the new video



It looks like theyre staying with a setup very similar to the current corvettes

leaf springs are still there and of course the sachs shocks

same camber adjusters

the endlinks also look the same.

subframe is clearly changed and it looks like the sway bar mounts further into the frame.

Edit:
collars added to the sway bar

Guessing that F55 will not be standard on the base C7.....

The rear crossmember looks to be quite a departure from the existing design and it appears that it may be magnesium?????? from the coloring vs the A-Arm. But then the A-arms might also be magnesium.

At the same time there are enough differences in the suspension, that GM has scheduled a special C7 Suspension Seminar at the Birthday Bash at the National Corvette Museum.

I mentioned in another thread it does look like the leaf springs are mounted in a different location than C5/6. Should be interesting!
