I got back on Thursday from a Nurburgring Nordschleife shake down of my suspension mods.
Long thread with pics here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1...

Short trip review here: http://www.auto-journals.com/blog/?p=179

In summary, the new tyres, coilovers and brakes have totally transformed the car. In fact it feels so tame, it should probably be renamed the Pussycat.








Apart from the fact it still has nearly 600bhp...wink

Glad to hear it's going well David. Is the Ferrari getting used anymore?

Hi James, nice to see you back on here!
Actually, until the mods were finished the day before I went to Germany, I have been exclusively using the Ferrari, helped by the fact that it is on a depreciation-free deal...

Would the suspension fit, suit and give the same improvements on a standard C6 or is it specifically for the ZO6?

Hi Dave,
Yeah I replaced the entire brake set up with Brembo.
I could well be up for selling the Z06 calipers. I have some new Racing Brake 2 piece front discs, brand new Hawk pads and stainless steel lines to go with the kit too.

Need new rear discs though...
