Sure, that was their stated goal. However they have now decided to use the C6 bearing back on their new spindles, so I wonder how they intend to incorporate factory brakes.

I hear that raising the diff in the c3 vettes make a improvment, but guys like me that installed a t56 trans would make the angle more drastic, I would have to angle the diff up about 2 degrees , being that my tranny is about 2 degres pointing thew other direction, oposite but same angle means no vibration.

This isn't something I'd skip doing over having to re-set the pinion angle. My $.02

I would have voted stock brakes but what would the entry price be, coil overs or vbp transverse front spring have adjustment drop spindles do not so they would need a better price for us budget ( cheap ) builders...
