I am running stock Corvette GS (magazine) times at two different tracks with stock pads, tires, motor and found the shortcoming of the car for me are the rear diff and the seat.

Just curious why you chose the suspension first for upgrades?

These were my 7th and 8th track days, 3rd and 4th in the Camaro. I took the Ron Fellows driving school, and am returning for Level 2 in a couple of weeks. Fantastic instruction, good mix between classroom and track time. I went with the Supercar coilovers because some of the fastest Camaros are running them. Very happy with the results.

I was impressed with your lap times at Grattan with the Pedders springs. If I hadn't already ordered the coilovers I may have switched to just the springs bushings and rear bar, nice run!

Any thoughts on what you're going to do for a seat? I share your frustration with the stock seats. I was initially thinking about the Recaros that are now available in the 2014s, but am reconsidering. I'd prefer lighter, non-powered seats.
