my computer skills aren't up to snuff to be able to post a link. the arms are on pg 175 of the cc catalogue, part # 582265. i like dealing with cc because several times a year they offer free shipping to canada. shipping costs to canada can be quite prohibitive and some companies don't ship to canada.

Hi b76,
It sounds like you need the new trailing arms; but what about the spindles, etc.?
If shipping your old parts to someone to rebuild and use on new trailing arms is too costly then you may be right about just buying all new and saving on the shipping.
They certainly look nice in the CC catalogue!
Regards,
Alan

hey alan spindles,bearings,e brake etc should be much easier as a one shot install. just replace e brake cable and pulley and should be good to go,right ? i have already rebuilt rear calipers and replaced the diff cover.

USA Corvette suppliers have treated me 100% how ever the shipping vendors will all vary. I have used them all and have been severly been disappointed in team 'brown', (lower case intentional).
USPS has been the most reasonable with team Purple/Orange (upper case intentional) being second place when used from the SE corner of USA.
There are some vendors in Ontario that will fill the bill with Canada Post. It all comes down to how long are you willing to wait. In my opinion restoring a C3 will take a 'fair' bit of time. Order ahead to take in a reduction of shipping cost when possible.
