Just a candy red 77 with a red interior...

Thanks for the great advice! I'll do that as soon as Mom is finished caring for my grandmother...

Default Vb&p

Just got an email reply back from Greg at VB&P... he suggested their stainless sleeved brake calipers and their master brake kit #22200. Do you think I'll need a new MC?

He also suggested the very suspension upgrade I was looking at! Their Grand Touring Plus kit! He said that can be had with the KYB shocks (GRII) to save more money over the Bilsteins too.

And he recommended their power steering kit #22851 since I'm not going to upgrade to their rack system. This kit would give me everything except the pump.

What else should I look into for a 34 year old Vette that's been sitting for several years?

Don't know what the ride characteristics of a lowered 3rd gen Corvette are but if ride quality is any concern of yours, the Bilsteins are probably worth the up-charge. They aren't just another shock that is painted yellow. They know things other shock companies don't or do things other companies aren't willing or able to and if the shock is designed for that kit, it's totally worth it and you will feel it in the seat of your pants.
