Default !!! Ceta Suspension !!!

My CETA will handle circles around my SS but I am trying to figure out the difference in the suspension because the suspension on my CETA looks just like the SS but the CETA sets lower and out handles the SS 10 to 1. Is anyone an expert on the CETA suspension I want to buy the same setup for my SS.?

The owner you bought it from probably put some aftermarket stuff on, post pics of the suspension.

or maybe it's because the TA seats hold you in them better so you push the car harder!?

the camaros dont have much for side support. youd be surprised what the driver's confidence can do for the "handling" of a vehicle.

This was my guess.

They both could probably benefit from some upgrades.. Koni shocks, Strano springs and sways, rod end phb.. then they'll both be about as good as mine

Did you buy the T/A new? Because if you bought it used it might have some grippy tires on it (Michelin Sport Cups??).

Where did you hear that?

Everything I've ever seen indicates that the CETA is purely an aesthetic package - paint, stripes, and embroidering and such, but otherwise a regular WS6 (not to imply that WS6's are "regular" cars, of course... hehe).

In any case as far as suspension goes, you can get a better setup for probably around similar price you'd pay for a new replacement "CETA" suspension, if there's actually a difference.

One car may not handle circles around the other one as much as you think it would. I could probably put a good set of street compound tires on the SS and handle circles around the TA
