Interchangeable yes but still , would the ZR-1 specific suspension have been considered its own suspension passed on to other type C4 Corvettes ?
Like GM adding optional extras to the regular C4's ? Is that what you are saying ?
Also , did Lotus design the suspension for the ZR-1 or was it just modded by GM for the extra width of the rear tires and increased engine weight of the LT5 ?
