Suspension kits
Where did you buy your suspension rebuild kits? Are they all pretty much the same as far as quality and price from the various Corvette parts suppliers....Ecklers, Corvette America, et al?

Yeah, I've had some experience with off shore manufactured parts. Recently had the tensioner replaced on Cummins diesel and the shop (one I had not used before) put in a piece of junk. Tore up the serp belt in short order. 
Replaced the part with a Cummins part.

You get what you pay for basically. I made the mistake of buying a kit, that consisted of lower quality parts (mainly with regards to the ball joints) and since then have trown them out, before they were even used. I don't want to mess with my suspension after the car is totally assemble.
Furthermore, investigate a little what exactly you are going to use. It's not because it's a hype, that it's always good.
