Suspension

One of my favorite things to go after when writing an article is fixing incorrect "tribal knowledge" when it comes to the C5 Corvette. Brembo brakes with much larger rotors will somehow stop worse than stock? NOPE and here's the data. Various parts don't weight all that much and are insignificant? Here's the actual parts weighed and total weight journey of my C5 Corvette track car. These articles are fun to write, have a long shelf life as they disprove

Wwhen it comes to mods on the Corvette, most of the discussion surrounding the steering rack fall into two categories: How to stop it from leaking and what to do when the passenger side mount snaps off. Under heavy driving conditions, such as drifting or tracking on really sticky tires (or simply over driving the car) the passenger side mount on the steering rack itself can crack, separating the steering rack from the car.

Some folks may also want to upgrade their suspension to coilers, and there's a few things to know there as well. There are also some folks who fall astray of

While researching coilovers and then subsequently researching why the QA1 coilovers understeered for me (Shred Jesse), I took a lot of notes on all of the various sway bar diameters along with various coilover spring rates. A lot of information I als gathered from other folks and from various forum posts as many manufacturers don't list their specs for some reason, making it hard to compare just what you're getting. Below is my collated information from researching these things to

A low to the ground sports car not only looks sleek, but in theory is that much more performant. Air can't get under the car, it's going to be more aerodynamic and thus be faster right? Sort of... the devil is in the details! Let's start off by addressing the most common thought: The GM Engineers knew what they were doing... but had some restrictions. The GM engineers needed to make these cars perform, but also be livable. The car
