A street version spring would be awesome

It's a coil spring, so you can find alternatives pretty easily. The dampers are going to remain pretty harsh though.

I think the ZL1 1LE uses standard 2.5" springs, so it would be fairly easy to get springs that are lets's say ~25% softer all around. However, I don't know how well the shocks would be matched to them.

DSSV shocks are used on F1 cars as well as other professional racing formats

Well well well!
I just ready this whole tread for the first time just now! Man where the hell have I been? My take on this whole discussion is the driver should only consider running these shocks when they are right on the edge. How will you know if you are there? Well it's easy...if you need to ask that question then you are not there! |

It'd be interesting to see GM engineer a ZL1 1LE magnetic ride suspension setup where ride quality isn't a factor. I'd bet it'd be faster than the DSSVs and probably still ride better. Last year at PittRace I ran with: SWP Performance Chin Track Days 3 Balls Racing AutoInterests SCCA TNiA (and a few others I can't remember) I'll pretty much signup with any club that has an opening on a day I'm available. If you want your club to book at PittRace, don't wait. I'm pretty sure they sold out the track early last year.

When I had my M3 with Ohlin coil-overs, the ride quality sucked compared to MRC, but there is a certain on-ramp sweeper near me that when traffic is light, I can take at 110ish and there is a small dip in the middle of the turn and with the Ohlins on the M3, the rebound recovery was IMMEDIATE and RIGHT NOW. With MRC on the SS 1LE at the same speed, the recovery is still controlled but not as immediate, it does it a little more lazier. I suspect that would be the same difference with having the DSSV shocks, a little quicker reacting and recovery. However, the penalty for having that is a harsh ride the rest of the time. Overall I LOVE the MRC over the Ohlins about 90% of the time.
