Default Greetings from Massachusetts

hi, I picked up a 1993 40 Anniv Edition with 91k in July of 2020, I'm somewhere around 113k now. Love the car and the LT1, ran a 13.85 @ 99.85 at the drag strip a few weeks ago, but the base suspension and brakes need upgrades. I'm looking into how I can keep the car street-able but get more out of it in autocross and HPDE days without having to redo my front calipers every 3 months. I think I have too many miles on it to be a collector item of any value above a base Corvette at this point.

thanks! It's a good 10 footer, I had the front bumper repainted and it was a waste if money b/c they didn't color match ot very well and it's all chipped up again. Its weird b/c the doors and rear bumper they did look great, two different guys I guess. Won't use that shop again.

yeah, my next upgrade is C5 front caliper conversion. I found a local Corvette junkyard that has multiple sets for $200. I bought some C5 Mag wheels and new tires from them for $800, good deal!
