whoo man I finally got to take my car up through the twisties and I love how this thing handles even w/ the runcraps... always must turn off that active handleing though... and the abs kicks in at some very hairy spots but other than those little problems I really put this thing through its pases, I'm still stock height and I was scraping the s**t out of that front valance from brakeing and also scraping through quite a few corners... I was doing 5k shifts and going from WOT to full brakeing just to give you an ideaw how hard I was driving... I could probably use some better shocks and Z06 springs but I dont plan on driving like that everyday... I am amazed at how when you get the back end loose comeing out of a corner the suspension really starts to work and the controllability is outstanding... not like a straight axle car... I wish I could get some sticky tires and take this thing out to the track... who else has had the chance to really see what your car could do? and what else would you guys reccomend besides tires, shocks, and springs?.... this car is AWSOME!!! corvette
I grew up in honolulu, so the only other road that comes close is the road going up Tantalus. But Everytime I go to Kauai to visit my Grandparents, I always think about driving up to Kokee in my vette instead of my grandpa's pickup, which is always the case.
Put on Z06 rims and tires. Lower it on stock bolts. Good alignment. 04 Z06 shocks. That's it.
Lower it on lowering bolts, add Hotchkis or T1 bars and Z06 rear spring with an 800# or higher front spring from VBP and your in business.
Also I put Z06 size Tires on the Wagon wheels with no , repeat no issues other then substancially improved handling. So spend your mod money on the bars and Springs. With the Bigger front spring Nose dive is gone and the bars will keep the car flat. Dial in 2-3` negative camber and your off. You may want to add a harness bar because the car is going where you point it with this set up but your body will be thrown around a bit.
You will not be disapointed in the results. It is unbelievable how different the car will be
