Default C3 Suspension Upgrade

Hello everyone. In the future, when I have the time and money, I want to do a full frame off rebuild. I've seen new front tubular suspension upgrades from Van Steel and TRZ Motorsports. I'm planning on welding some extra tubular steel to stiffen up the frame. Also I want to change the front spindles from the stock set, new brake system etc.. TRZ supplies 1.5" drop spindles for C3 corvettes. Let me know what you guys think about it.

- Just getting my shopping list ready.

The right amount of money can make an Early Model Corvette handle like a C4. The frames on the C3s are fairly rigid to begin with and they make stiffeners for them or even new frames to bolt up a C4 suspension You could just go with a Coil Over Suspension Conversion Kit front and rear or replace the entire frame and drop in a C4 Suspension.
