Suspension mounting points?
Hi.
I just bought a complete (less rear uppers) frt and rear suspension from a C6. Anyone know where a person can find the upper Control arm mounting measurements?? Service manual?? or??
Also, I need rear upper control arms.
Anyone need a set of stock Springs?, Shocks, Halfshafts? I'm going with coilovers...
Let me know?

I have been trying to find similar information on C6 frames. None of the collision repair info has any dimensional info showing the position of the mounting brackets. My only suggestion is to purchase from a dismantler the frame rail section. I had to buy the new complete rear frame rails.
Bolt the frame sections up to your cradles, then make a jig to position the top mounting points in relation to the bottom mounting points. Your jig can then be used to duplicate the position of the top mounting points in another chassis rail. The mounting brackets are all available as collision repair parts from GM
There are 3-rear brackets on each back rail, 2 for the control arms and a separate one for the shocker. The front control arm mounts are all on one mounting plate, with a separate bracket for the shocker with additional 2 reinforcing brackets.

Welllll.... have not decided yet.
Might do a street buggy with this suspension and a sportbike drive system....
Or maybe something like this:
Time will tell.....
As far as mounting points go, I can go through the hoops and figure it out, I was hoping that someone might already know??
Thanks, Mike
