Good morning gang

Would much appreciate direction to the most popular handling packages for C7. Also, the one thing I have never been able to get used to is the higher seating position, any suggestions on lower seating options (more inside the frame) with better lumbar support ?

thank you

Speef

Hi there - I still find them high, I’d like to sit a couple inches lower in the frame like in my gt3 ... possible? Was thinking of going Sparco or equivalent ... any experience with that ? Thank you again !

Have you looked into changing your seat brackets?

You won't find a ton of suspension packages out there for better handling. We have some coilover kits and sway bar upgrades on our site that will help out. The stock suspension is pretty decent but if you're looking to get around a track faster a good set of tires and some cooling mods are your friend.
If you need any help dm us or give us a call and we'd be glad to help

Have you used/installed these by chance? With my helmet on, it rubs the roof and, just in general street driving with the seat all the way down, if I were to hit something I'm pretty sure my head would hit the roof crossbar rather than the headrest part of the seat due to how much I have to lean the seat back for a normal driving position. This could potentially fix both of those issues I think, thanks for the tip!
