Some C2-C3 Corvette stuff
 

well one of the really cool projects here has been for the corvette guys is our new coil over system!!!! Hope you guys like the sneak peek at the newest stuff in the pipeline!!

first we looked at front end geometry and built new arms to increase castor added castor slugs for adjustments, new lower arms to get the coilover angle right and relocate the lower balljoint to center the wheel, then added tall spindles for better camber curve, and fixed the bump steer with some awesome billet steering arms, so now you can get bigger wheels on the stock setup

heres most of the current systems parts

Very nice stuff here! Interested in the front setup for our C2. And that rear crossmember is very cool :thumbsup:

Brett said you guys came up with a rear swaybar setup too?

You are correct. . .the C2/C3 system is the first splined sway bar set up we've developed. We use a 1.25" bar up front and a 1.00" bar in the rear.
In addition to the multiple pick-up points on the arms this will also allow you to easily and quickly change sway bar rates by swapping bars.

Britt Is it ready yet? I'll have my pickup truck in Nashville. Lol

You specific system will be on display at Nashville...you can take it home with you.

...or bring your car and some tools/buddies and install it at the show :)

Thanks Bret and Britt and Rodney.
I'm bringing the Camaro but I hope to have the Vette Going at Columbus.
See You tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks
Mike

This is just the coolest thing since sliced bread.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Great looking steering arms! Any plans to build a "reversed" set for a possible front steer (rack) application?

Complete install pics at my photobucket site. Swaybars coming soon.
Thanks Ridetech
