Default 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

installed on our shop car



heres is were we had the most fun!! a redesign of the rear arms! offset for wider wheels, a more ridged ladder structure design and direct fitment of the coilover, new third member cross mount with integrated upper shock mount for with correct shock angle, and adjustable radius rods and new lower mount!

offset trailing arms

complete rear system!!
