Do you know anybody who has put Johnny Joints in C3 A-arms? I would like to get that done on my car.
Not to assume anything, if you haven't already gone thru the Chevy Power book's Corvette Chassis section, I'd do so now, as it does cover a number of fundamental improvements you need to have performed.
If you can swing getting one, the Greenwood 5-link would be very nice. FWIW, Guldstrand also has their own version of a 5-bar link. DragVette's 6-link does not have comperable geometry to either of the above, so IMCO it's best left to the strip.
Should you end up keeping the C2/C3 TA's for any reason, I'd replace the rubber bushings with sphericals or, better yet, Johnny Joints, and raise your diff enough to keep the half-shafts from dipping below level during bump.
There's more to this, of course, but hope we've pointed you somewhat in the right direction.
