Ecklers Sport Suspension kit?
I finally got around to looking in my Ecklers Spring Catalog and I am intrigued by the suspension kit on page 106.
It comes with front and rear springs(is there a difference between Z and non-Z springs?), front lowering kit, adjustable struts, Bilstein shocks, 32mm front sway bar, and bushing kits for front and rear.
They want $1100. I need to get new tie rods, so this would be the perfect time do do all of this stuff for an allignment.
My car is an '87 Non-Z51. Any feedback?
Thanks.

It looks a lot like Vette Brakes kit which has been discussed here in the Forum many times. The experience of those who have it is that it is unusable.
There is couple of reviews about it: http://www.corvetteforum.cc/reviews/...=298&TopicID=7

Sounds a little pricey.
I talked to DRM and you can get a coil over conversion (minus shocks) for about that price. They told me that they would give me the "recipe" for the shock valving so that Bilstein could re-build them to the DRM specs.

I think it *is* the VB&P kit and Ecklers is just a reseller. The color photo in the Ecklers catalog looks identical to the photo in my VB&P catalog.
You might be better off researching and selecting individual components.
