Why use C4 Corvette suspension and not C5 or C6?
The fourth-generation Corvette came with a very modern suspension, designed to be used with wide wheels and tires. It is important to note that Corvette made cars with wheels up to 11″ wide. This C4 suspension incorporates great geometry that works equally well on the street or at the race track. Highlights of the suspension include extensive use of aluminum, a fully independent front & rear design, composite springs, rack and pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes and most importantly—all these elements were designed by Corvette to work together! This is not an accumulation of suspension, and braking parts, that just ended up being bolted together because they looked good, or simply made the wheels fit! Now here’s the neat part—without any modification the C4 suspension is a perfect fit in the `55-`57 Chevy’s.
