Suspension for my Vette
I have a 2000 Corvette coupe bade model. I want to up-grade my suspension. Shocks and sway-bars. I was looking at the Johnny O’Connell Signature Suspension Stage 1. I cant find anyone that has it. I was looking on customcorvetteaccessories.com and it seems that they are Discontinued.
Is there any that are the same quality around the same price.
Thanks

PFADT is out of business... You probably won't find the JOC pieces, and if you do, their "may" be some isssues.
I myself run the PFADT coilovers. Front and rear sways on my C5Z... you would do best to pick up some LG coilovers if that is indeed what you are looking for. Just my .02
I see you are in Hohenfels FRG.... Man, I spent time there as well as Graff as a young Infantryman! GL w your search.

Your best bet would be to order up the 2013 Z06 shocks and the 2013 Z51 sway bars as well as the metal end links. About 600$ American dollars. partstaxi.com has them, not sure if they ship overseas though.

What is it that you plan to do with the car? If you're going to autocross it- fine.
But if you're simply looking to improve handling for the 'spirited' driving we all do once in awhile and freshen up an older car-- then Bilsteins or Z06 shocks and sways are the most cost effective way to go- IMO.
Your car . . .your call.

Here's what I did to upgrade my base suspension '98 convertible, and it's now a much better handling car:
Shocks: C6 Z-51
Sway Bars: C6 Z-51 w/metal endlinks
Springs: C5 Z-06
Car is lowered to the max on stock bolts.
Mine is a fair weather cruiser, so I couldn't justify the cost of a coilover setup. Maybe "down the road."

Using the Z06 sway bars I have had both the Z06 shocks and Bilsteins I enjoy the Bilsteins much more. Smoother for those highway cruises and still as sporty when you hit the twisters

Suspension in my '99 Base Coupe from GM Parts (Gene)
I bought the stabilizers, Links, and Shocks.
My 111,500+ miles coupe rides like a NEW CAR now.
And the ride isn't too stiff nor too soft.
I feel like one of the 3 Bears....
"The Ride is Just Right !"
