I'm looking for a rear suspension kit for my 1970 Stingray. I figure that while I am replacing the rear trailing arms, I should replace the rest as well.

I'm looking for a kit that contains the rear leaf, shocks, bushings, strut rods, coils, ect.. basically the complete kit. A performance style suspension package like the ones offered in Ecklers for example.

If anyone has any leads or ideas feel free to chime in. I'm trying to find a deal and save myself some money on the rebuild. This will be the first rebuild of a corvette suspension for me.

Thanks

Hi Dustin,
I don't think there are many 'deals' on Corvette parts.
Most people have found that asking "where is it made?" is as important as asking "how much is it?".
You have several threads on the same subject going, and I suggested Bairs in one of them.
Good Luck!
Regards,

Alan,

I'm not looking for a deal as in low price, i'm looking for a deal as in quality parts at a reasonable price. I certainly have no interest in putting junk parts on the car to save a few dollars and i don't want to order a kit thats incomplete and leaves my vette on the lift. I don't want to buy an kit that would be considered "overkill" either

I looked at Bairs but i didn't see the complete kit I was looking for. I was hoping to find someone (vendor or private) who had a kit similar to the "stage V premium street handling kit" or "Stage IV super street handling kit" in Eclkers. Im going back and forth between steel spring and composite option and I havent made a decison on if it would be worth the extra money.

I just made a deal to buy a set of new loaded trailing arms and would like to do the job in one shot. I'm hoping for a night and day difference in the ride and handling characteristics of my C3. The suspension is pretty worn and im looking for the correct route.

Thanks for your help with my posts.

I don't have a kit at all - but I happen to have a couple of composite springs and 8" bolts sitting around. One spring is 225, the other is 330 or 360 if I remember correctly.

Shoot me an e-mail (not PM, I'll forget to check) if you're interested.
