Suspension Options.
My 1980 Stingray needs a new suspension, front and rear. What will work with putting new 17"s all the way around. Increase the handling a little, but overall be really cheap.
I just whos got good setups out there now.
Thanks
Jayme

Check with Vette Brakes Products. http://vettebrakes.com/
What is "Really Cheap" to you. When it comes to staying on the road and controlling the power put on the pavement I would not go to cheap but the best I could afford.

Re: Suspension Options. (Nomad78SA)
......VetteBrakes products are not for everyone. You'll get a rough ride with lots of creaks and groans for the benefit of race-type handling. I am running a stock suspension again with new shocks, coils, and rear leaf spring and I like it. Wheel alignment and new tires made the biggest difference in my handling. Regards

With your 20 year old Vette, you should replace everything.
To go cheap, get a kit of OE components from Muskegon Brake. This will give you a soft ride and OE cornering.
Upgrades depend on what you want to do with the car and how much you want to spend. I'd suggest that you talk to Vette Brakes and to Guldstrand before buying anything and consider their suggestions.
Be sure to mention the 17s when you talk to them.
