It should not feel that "floaty" with those miles.
Does the ride height appear normal?
I think it's the stock height. Here's a picture that I took today:

Get car in the air, and check both front and rear springs for any splitting or cracking of the spring itself.
I had the Z checked out by a Corvette shop when I got it 3 years ago. The only issue was a delaminating rear leaf spring, which I replaced right away from a Corvette salvage yard. I don't know the miles on the spring.

So I drove the Z to work today and went over speed bumps at 3 MPH. I don't think I felt the rear bounce. However, the front very noticeably bounced twice.

I have a right front actuator time out code that comes up once in a while, which I assume is an issue in itself, but is unrelated to the bounce?

Thanks,
