Would like to rebuild my suspension and had a few questions. For start what brand of parts are available for this year? Are there upgrade kits out there? Any sort of tips or advice would be welcomed!

Yup, Vette Brakes has great setups.
They developed the system I got from Ecklers.

Your Vette looks pretty nice, how much work have you had done to it? And what wheels are those?

To much work:lol: !! There isn't a bolt or nut i haven't touched on my vette. The engine has mods(400hp), Perf clutch, T-10 4spd, adjustable rear suspension.

The wheels are made by Progressive and are 15x9's with 3 3/4 BS.

Yes there are several parts available. Just completed mine last week for a 75. now i am about to start on the body. Upgrades w/ bushings, springs, steering etc...
let me know if you want some pics or if you have further questions.
I have bought most of my stuff from volunteer vette, and a few things from eklers. all of them price compare to each other, so it is wise to price shop before you make final purchase. i have found that each competitor will have a catalog from other companies to make sure you are telling the truth when price bargaining. volvette has been very good and quick with shipping and online orders.
