Default C6 Z06 racing A arms & suspension ?

Since I have to rebuild my poor Z, Blue Thunder, after we hit the wall at. Homestead I might as well replace all 4 corners complete suspension full race.

Is chrome moly the best material for this ? Who makes some nice complete kits ?

Thanks

She's a great car, so sad to see her mangled

Options are stock control arms with delrin bushings or spherical metal bearings.

Ridetech, Strano, Phoenix, and Vansteel make Delrin kits

Lg, Tikt, and Pfadt/AFE make spherical bearing kits

Or you can go with custom stuff like this: http://trzmotorsports.com/wp2/?produ...-2012-corvette

Narrows Track Width Approximately 1 inch per side

Seems like a drag piece. Also, no way that saves 70lbs vs OEM.

Their web site says "designed for drag race applications"

Use c5 sub frames spindles and control arms if you want the car to handle. Other than that, very cool.

What's benefit of C5 bits ?

Do they fit on C6 Z06 without any mods ?

Thnx
