Not sure about Vansteel's products (haven't looked them over yet) but I KNOW Vette Brakes & Products has got some good suspension kits...In fact, their top of the line suspension kit for the C3 will probably be what we go with when we redo the suspension on ours. EVERYTHING on our car is shot; bushings, shocks, rusted springs...Yep, just gonna replace it all, and do an upgrade at the same time.

Van Steel and VB&P have similar suspension kits and rebuild kits available. They sometimes differ in the details so you should look closely at what's included in each kit to decide what is best for you. Either company is great to deal with so you will be well taken care of whatever you choose. Don't forget to budget either time or money for removing and replacing the bushing shells. I removed my old bushings and shells myself, which required a lot of time. I just had the new bushing shells pressed in yesterday at a cost of $70 for all 4 arms. If you are going to paint the arms you might want to wait until after the bushings are installed. I have to do a LOT of touch-up on the lower control arms.
