65 - 82 Riveted Front Hubs
As you probably know, the factory riveted the rotors to the front hubs for initial installation only. GM replacement rotors were not drilled for rivets, and were held in place by the wheel lugs. This part brings your car back to the way it was when it left St. Louis. - Free Freight

Racing A-Arm Steel Bushings
Maintaining front end geometry is mandatory in racing, and there is no possibility of being competitive with anything softer than steel bushings. This is not for a street car, as they transmit every pebble right back to your hands on the wheel, but for racing they are a must. The upper bushings are offset bored to allow you to change the angle of the upper a arm pivot points, to improve handling or to just run fewer shims. These bushings can be installed in the same manner as the stock rubber bushings, but we recommend welding them in. - Free Freight

63 - 82 Front Sway Bar Assembly
If you want to plant the front end of your Corvette, you have to go heavier with the front stabilizer bar. As far as I am concerned, the heavier the better. Most Corvettes came with either a 7/8 or 1 inch bar. I don't sell the 7/8 inch bar. These bars are made in America, and they are the best you can buy. Bar comes complete as shown, with mounting bracket and bushings. Free Freight

Replacement Front Coil Springs
These are Federal Mogul Springs, and they tend to be a bit conservative on their application recommendations. If you have air conditioning in your 74-82 Corvette, I would go with the Big Block springs. The spring rate is on both springs is 450 lbs, about 50 lbs higher than stock. The difference between the two springs is in the length, and there is not much difference. - Free Freight

These have these springs custom made. They should make a big difference in the way the front end of your Corvette handles. I would be reluctant to run the 850 lb springs unless your car weighs over 3000 lbs. Allow 10 days, as we make them to order. - Free Freight
