C5 Track Suspension Setup
Looking to build my c5 into a full time track car, I would love to hear what you guys are running for your whole suspension setup. I’m trying to decide between Viking Crusader and Penske Spec Corvette 8300 coilovers. Any recommendations/ knowledge would be greatly appreciated

+1 on contacting Strano - Sam really knows his stuff. If you call, he'll talk to you. Just be a gentlemen, don't waste his time plumbing him for info and buying from someone else.

I understand if you are going piece by piece, but in general I'd be more concerned with Brakes and cooling - especially the trans/differential.
If you don't have a cage-guy - I highly recommend TC Fabrication Tony is an artist and has tons of experience with C5's
