Hey all
ok I have the front lift and really like it I see it as a bit of an insurance policy as I engage it regularly the button is right at your finger tips and feels really cool going up and down.
i basically got the front lift because I knew I was gonna upgrade my front splitter to 1 VM in carbon flash and yes I recently put that gorgeous splitter from ACS on
as for mag ride that’s an option I did not get I also have the Z51 package
after I placed my order I regretted it instantly .... please read on
when the car came in and I took delivery yea it was a tight ride but not terrible
I now have about 3500 kms on my c8 and yea the suspension has softened a bit and I love it the ride is actually perfect and I live in Toronto with probably the worst roads in North America
to me the ride is perfect and let’s me know constantly that I am in a car that means business in a very good way
if I want a cushy ride I’ll drive my wife’s Buick or my Escalade
and actually the Buick has a better ride than the Escalade that is double the price
i don’t track the car so thats not a factor
without the mag ride with the Z51 package don’t expect a ride lke a caddy but then again it’s not a caddy it’s a corvette ...... with a mid engine.
on My C8 I upgraded the wheels to the 21 20 set up and yea I went a bit over board with the rims ..... HRE P 107 SC fully forged and what a massive difference that made in the ride and handling I put the stock wheels on for winter storage and when I drive it a bit it’s more sluggish and less responsive with a choppier ride
of course you don’t have to go with the most expensive rims known to man like I did any fully forged rims should give the same result
if you had buckets and buckets of money then carbon fibre wheels would be kinda cool but not so practical and way too delicate
I now absolutely DO NOT regret getting the mag ride and some may disagree but with the Z51 package I don’t think it’s a must have
actually a lot of people have commented on what a nice ride my C8 has
if you want to get it thats great but don’t think you HAVE to get it
i love my C8 and wouldn’t change a thing ..... yea even without mag ride
happy vetting gents
Tony
