Default Reference Requested

Anyone have any experience with the following vendor for T/A rebuild?
BAK Automotive
Specializing in '63-'82
Corvette Suspension Systems
707 Forest Park Road
Great Falls, VA 22066
Mark Kibbe, President
(703) 757-2960
I would hate to put the rear suspension sll back together and find out the T/A's are not correct.

Why not just use Van Steel or Bairs - proven track record with exchange program.

I agree. Take the estimate they have given you and then call Bair's.
