Suspension Settings - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Billy Mild · 09-10-2014

It seems on this car that the suspension doesn't seem very tight. The car does seem to flex a lot, and I noticed it is really bad when the roof is out. Is this typical of the C4? My 86 951 was pretty stiff chassis and with a refreshed suspension handled decent, but still had some body roll.

On the ZR1 when I have the car in touring mode it just seems to bounce around a lot and be floating on air. With the suspension firmed up a bit that feeling goes away, but the chassis still seems to flex a bit. I think 90% of the rattles and creaks are from the chassis flexing so much. Are there any fixes for that, or is this caused by bad suspension bushings? How often do the shocks need to be rebuilt?
