Hey Jim.... VBP (Vette Brakes and Performance makes a real nice aftermarket monoleaf. They have a sport version and normal. I had the sport version in my 1991 and loved it (I only had it in the front) The front and rear are the same price. $299.99. You might want to buy the front as well while your at it. Car will handle great.

Thanks Kevin,
I was planning on selling the C4 when I got everything fixed, but by the time I'm done, I may just keep it.

check the salvage yards, they are about 150.00 used.

how to tell? crawl underneath and look. they delaminate, just like plywood.
