I'm rebuilding my first Corvette and used to cars with modern suspensions. Do people put coil overs on older C3's? Whats a good brand that will work with this car? Its for a '73.

I have a 1970 and beginning to do some work. Have not considered coil overs you might want to try Ecklers or Mid America they both have alot of parts for older Vettes.

I plan to do the coil overs myself on a 77, they are available, sharkbite suspensions is one brand. I have not found anyone who has a lower control arms in lite weight tubular style, they all have the stock type stock.I see them used with the mono spring front replacement kits so they are out there. Does anyone know of anywhere?

Thanks

Don't for get to check Drag vette www.dragvette.com , Chassis Eng or Competition Eng for suspension parts. I'm sure someone could direct you to what you need. I have seen rear coilover convs. If you are good at doing some fab work and welding, it can be done.

Thank you, do you have coil overs on your Vette? If so any challenges getting them installed? Worth it at the end?
