I finally bought my bilsteins through www.vansteel.com along with
poly bushings and spicer solid U-joints for all three shafts.

If you have questions about your set up, give the corvette guys
a call at van steel they will set you up with the right parts.


Riggs.

Edgar -- your 330 spring is close to a stock level spring rate for 79 (315 was stock) = HD's, sports if you're driving it HARD
The high spring rates they are mentioning are 350+

Thanks for clearing that up for me... My fiberglass spring is not in the car yet. Do You think I should have gone with the 360? Thanks..
