71 suspension
Has anyone installed a stage V kit from Ecklers. Wondering how difficult it was and if you need any specific tools. I also am not sure I want to do this to my car, it is an all original car I am torn between being a purest and enjoying the car everyday.
Love to here others thoughts.

If you go for an extravagant handling kit you'll quickly find out that both back and front need to be done as a system.
Second, you'll get to know your alignment guy real well because very few people know how to set the suspension and its a lot of trial and error.
They when you do figure it out, it will handle great but think? 10-15 years down the road will replacement parts be available ? Also selling your car with that suspension most likely won't be a good selling point and you'll loose money on the vette and the suspension money will be a total loss.
IMHO
if this car is cheap or you got the cash and want to beat the crap out of it (like I do) then go for it!!! But do the whole car, not just the front
