Default Handle?

OK,
I'm new to vettes but always a fan. If you want to make a vette handle where do you look?
Thanks Jack

It would be a a start to fill out your profile so someone can look and see what year car you have. Also help to be a bit clearer. I had to read this several times to guess that you are talking about improving ride and handling?

Default Sorry about that

Sorry about that. I don't have a vette yet but am looking. Something around a 70 vert is what I am thinking. Looking thru here I have seen pics of all kinds of suspension mods, Shocks-springs-addjustable coils all kinds of stuff.I guess I was just kind of thinking out load. Where can you buy these kind of parts? Where is a good place for Corvette parts in general?
Thanks Jack

LOL!! When I read the title of the thread I was thinking door handle, parking brake handle, hood release handle, etc...

There are lots of ways out there to make a vette handle. I think if you are looking at a bumper convertible, you would do good to look at Gordonm car. He has convertible that he autocrosses and has done several good mods to his to make it handle like he wants. There are several supporting vendors that offer all kinds of suspension setups depending on what you are after.
