Default Ecklers Suspension Packages

I am wanting to upgrade my suspension over the winter and am looking for any suggestions on some of these suspension kits. I am a newbie and am looking for something that offers a somewhat comfortable ride around town at an affordable cost. I was looking at the 3 different kit packages on pages 168,169 #38636,43642,38632.

Eckler seems to be outa control with their prices lately. Hoods that were 499 two years ago are almost 700 today. I dont even go to the website anymore.

I just place weekly orders with Corvette Central

anyways, Van Steel has a nice front end package for like a buck 80. Thats the way I'm going

I'd be willing to bet that a bunch of the bigger mail-order parts places (read: Eck) buy from VB&P to begin with.

Plus you get good tech support from VB&P and on the forum from what I've seen....

Call VB&P, tell them what kind of ride you want, and whip out your credit card. Problem solved.

Go with V B & P they recently had a big sale in September because of there 30th anniversery. I'm in the process of a body off and just purchased rear suspension parts. They have wealth of experience and with great customer service...see Gary
