Default 68 trailing arms

I did a search and came up with: Willcox and Van Steel. since I'm not really in the know, can some forum members share their thoughts with me on these two brands and any others I don't know about. I like the look of the Vans better. Also can anybody tell me if the speeddirect coilover shark bite rear suspension will "interface" with these aftermarket arms.

Thanks gang

Steve

Do you want stock arms or offset arms? Complete assemblies or just new arms?

Default Arms

I think complete assemblies, these (came off tonight) look horrible, they will most likely clean up nicely, but if you look at my build thread (Z068 update pics added), I'm doing a frame off "retro" Z06 whereever possible. Sooooo extra cool is important as well as function. My biggest concern is that the speeddirect Instigator suspension I purchased will work with an aftermarket arm.

Thanks Steve

Make sure you check with Speed Direct about hooking up to the arms, they do require an adapter for offset and aftermarket HD arms.
