Potentially ignorant questions:

Does the Z06 have independent suspension (I know the mustang doesn't and from those pics it seems like it does)?

Do those coil-overs have adjustable dampers as well?

Yes it has independent suspension, especially now since I removed the leaf springs which were installed from side to side and not front to back. And the KW V3 are 14 ways adjustable, including the inbound and rebound.

So basically the only kink in the stock Z06's suspension were those leaf springs? Nice.
