another reason why ive not messed with the suspension on my Z other than the front swaybar.



This has definitely kept me hesitant about suspension mods. Can anyone speak to the effect of suspension mods on VDC sensitivity? Does a simple lowering spring/camber kit mod really effect this that much?

I have eibach's which have a 3 postion rear setting so if you set it to mild for bumpy streets and medium for smooth streets or light track days, you're good. the third setting is very stiff and useless on the street. I think this is more the case with Hotchkis and whitelines, that have a huge effect on the cars transistions during street driving vs Eibach and stillen. Stillen being the least aggressive.

it can. VDC works in harmony with the suspension system including tires.

modding is all about compromises.
