Re: needs specs on Corvette c5 and c6 Upright

Got it squared away... we were looking into the differences between the C5 and C6 Spindles. Turns out the differences are not in the dimensions of the pieces, just some small changes in brake caliper mounting location.

There will be a DropmemberC5 in the not too distant future... sometimes my version of time is skewed a bit, so don't expect it too soon!

It will use all C5 components... control arms, spindles and brakes... not too sure on the rack and pinion yet.

As for C5 spindles working on C4 arms... no.

I didn't think they would. I have been looking around for vette front suspension and the c5 stuff seems to be triple the price of c4. I think I am going to stick with c4.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: needs specs on Corvette c5 and c6 Upright

Has there been any progress on a C5/6 dropmember or is the C4 still the only option?

79-93 Mustang rack.

Coil-over for sure.... most likely a Shockwave option as well.

Re: needs specs on Corvette c5 and c6 Upright

Just get ahold of us here at the shop 480-297-2621 and talk to Dave. You can also e-mail him: porterbuiltdirect@gmail.com or send him a PM here on the forum "Porterbuilt Direct" is his username. He handles all the calls and e-mails then filters to my "to do" list all the items that I personally need to address. Helps me make sure we don't miss anybody.
