The suspension on your factory C7 works extremely well. Your front and rear shocks are tuned to provide reasonable ride quality with good handling. However, the blend of ride quality and handling are a compromise "if" you drive your Corvette the way it was meant to be driven. The damping curve of your factory shocks sometimes provide a harsher ride quality at high speeds and it can prevent your C7 from reacting as fast as it could while cornering.
Johnny O'Connell is a multi-time championship winning Corvette racing driver. His accomplishments include multiple wins in the grueling and highly competitive 24 Hours of Le Mans. Those accomplishments have earned respect throughout the Corvette community and he's renowned for world classing tuning too. So, aFe enlisted Johnny O'Connell to fine tune these shocks for precision travel and OEM durability while improving handling with a smoother ride. In fact, these are the ONLY shocks available on the aftermarket for your factory C7 Corvette! And they are the perfect compliment to Johnny O'Connell performance sway bars for razor sharp handling you just can't get from your factory stock C7 Corvette.
What Makes Johnny O'Connell Signature Series shocks unique?
O.E style fitment: All O.E. mounting points have been retained for durability and a hassle-free installation.
Revised Damping Curve: The damping curve has been completely revised, removing the harsh, high speed ride characteristics associated with OEM dampers, while offering increased "platform" to keep the car planted in turns or transition inputs like slalom or road courses.
