Winter Project - Suspension Upgrade
 
2 Attachment(s)
Decided it was time to replace the 26 year old rubber suspension bushings and install DR trailing arm and camber brackets while at it. Went with SuperPro bushings all the way around. https://www.corvettepartscenter.com/...erpro-c4-84-96
These are one piece design bushings which are not nearly as stiff as the other urethane bushings out there. And they come with a lifetime warranty.

How did you get the suspension components so clean? What process did you use? Nice job, BTW.
I have heard good things about the super pro bushings. Please let us know how it goes.

take a look at the banski rods with the boots over the spherical rod ends. work really nice and take a lot of hassle out of the rear.

Any follow-up with the SuperPro bushings? how was the fit? the ride? do they squeak? I'm starting to gather parts to overhaul my suspension soonish

Car is still up on the lift in winter hibernation. Besides the SuperPro bushings also upsizing the exhaust piping to 3”. Should make its spring outing first week in April.

Installed urethane lowering wedges on the front spring seven years ago. Found this when installing the new suspension bushings.
Can anyone recommend wedges that hold up better?
