Have you checked into shipping quotes? Fuel prices have come down a bit around here anyway, I was thinking it may be a good time to save some $$$ on shipping. ??
Eric is correct - Just ship it and call it a day

Default Team III

I'm thinking Team III AC Cobra type wheels for the Vette.

Affordable and I think the grey centers will complement the candy red on the car!

Default Vb&p

VB&P's550 coil springs part # 31232 are only $89.99 a pair, lowers the front one inch with a bit stiffer ride. I had HO Racing's 550lb springs on the front of the 'bird for years and like the ride quality.

The Vette's rear can be lowered by swapping the rear leaf spring bolts on the outer ends of the spring. Stock length is 6 1/2 inch, VB&P has an 8 inch # 32306 and 10 inch part # 32332P Both kits cost just $31.99 a pair.

Wheels & Stance on a budget... BOOM!

Default Talked with Tobin!

Wilwood D8-6 and/or D8-4 aluminum calipers are designed to be a direct replacement for the factory calipers. It’s a quick and easy way to shed almost 30 pounds and they maintain the look of the classic C3 Corvette styling!

Some decent rotors and pads and I'd be ready to rock and roll!
The D8-6 calipers are a 6-piston version of the D8-4, which gets you staggered piston bores over the uniform 4-piston design... but I don't know if it's worth that...

$499.50 WIL-140-10789 4-piston Front Caliper Kit w/ BP-10 pads & hoses, Clear Anodize

$499.50 WIL-140-10790 4-piston Rear Caliper Kit w/ BP-10 pads & hoses, Clear Anodize

$389.00 WIL-140-11727-D Rotors, Drilled & Slotted, Front & Rear

There are black and red color options on the Wilwood calipers, however they just add to the cost.

Brakes... check... BOOM!
