TRZ Motorsports C5 - C6 Corvette Outlaw Front Suspension (1997 - 2013 Corvette C5 / C6) - 400-5
Race-Bred Front Suspension Upgrade for 1997 - 2013 Corvette C5 & C6
The TRZ Motorsports Outlaw Front Suspension Kit transforms the front end of your 1997 - 2013 C5 or C6 Corvette into a lightweight, fully adjustable drag-race weapon. This system replaces the heavy OEM K-member, A-arms, spindles, and steering components with a complete chrome-moly and billet aluminum assembly engineered for racers who demand precision geometry, reduced weight, and maximum forward bite.
The kit includes a chrome-moly K-member, upper and lower A-arms with chrome-moly rod ends, and chrome-moly spindles designed specifically for Strange GT spindle-mount brakes or a compatible standard hub-style brake kit. An optional upgrade to billet aluminum spindles (+$370) is available for racers seeking the lightest possible setup.
Steering is addressed with a Pinto-style rack-and-pinion mount and an included custom-length manual rack kit featuring 6061 aluminum tie-rod adjusters, chrome-moly U-joints, a steering shaft, and a column adapter. This kit is built exclusively for coil-over shocks and drag-race use, removing up to 95 pounds from the nose and narrowing track width by approximately 1 inch per side to improve weight transfer and launch stability.
With 8 - 10 degrees of built-in positive caster, premium teflon-lined rod ends throughout, and compatibility with specific Strange or TBM hub/brake combinations, the TRZ system delivers race-ready alignment control and reduced deflection. Note that OEM C5/C6 A-arms, brakes, or steering components are not compatible with this kit.
