Default handling upgrade for '69

Hey guys,

Just wondering what a good suspension/stabiliser/shocker upgrade packages are out there for early C3's. My father used the Rancho package on his '66 and he can't say more googd things. But that was years ago and was wondering what else (if better) is out there.

Thanks

check out many of the sponsors, i.e. VBandp, ecklers, etc. They all sell full kits.

I am running a Vette Brakes kit on mine. I have upgraded to Bilstein shocks also. Great improvement.

Take a look at www.vansteel.com and www.vbandp.com. They both have kits available, and both companies are forum sponsors. Great folks to deal with.
