I am finding I can buy a very high mileage junker C4 thats not exactly "cherry" and get alot of parts for my 63 restomod and spend less then looking for suspensions only and then pay the shipping
So if it runs no shipping lol

As mentioned a manual trans car would have the D44 unless already removed and sold! Happens. Through '88 the rear gear would be a 3.07, an '89 early car a 3.54, later '89 3.33, '90 a 3.33 unless a ZR-1 then 3.45, '91+ are 3.45 but there's reported 3.54's.
If you're wanting complete suspensions you need to know what chassis your using would like. '87 and earlier are substantially different.

I would think if doing SRiii then you want to limit your search to '88+ cars so that you can use the front components and the D44 with the L/R suspension units with caliper controlled/activated e-brake.
Do you have the SRiii yet or just planning? They'll let you know which and unless specified differently I believe they intention '88+ components.
