Default Aftermarket Traction Control

Anybody know of any aftermarket suspension components yet for the C7 for traction control? Outside tires, anything else out there for high power cars?

Thanks!

Reduce unsprung weight to increase traction. That's the Forgeline one-piece wheels.

And high performance shocks get the tires back in contact. That's the Penske's for those without magnetic shocks. Also, Penske's for custom coilovers.

The tuner might attempt the 325/30-19 rear tire. Lower the car to tuck the tops of the tires but also get stiffer springs because lowering with the lowering bolts reduces spring pre-load. Then the wheel is a 19 x 11.5 at 79mm offset or a 19 x 12 at 79mm offset. Also, there is the very short 315/30-18 rear tire that goes on a 18 x 11 75mm wheel. I wouldn't attempt the 335/25-20 rear tire but if so then the wheel is a 20 x 12 79mm
