Thats one of the most ingenious areas of the car. The springs are not old school at all, they are totally modern composite structure used in a smart way.
"The Corvettes transverse leaf springs serve the same purpose as coil springs in other vehicles, but they are lighter and allow for the vehicles mass to be closer to the ground. The springs also allow for thinner/lighter anti-roll bars since they can assume some of that duty"
