Winter Project - Suspension Upgrade
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. IMG_0557.JPG IMG_0559.JPG Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Re: Winter Project - Suspension Upgrade
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.

Re: Winter Project - Suspension Upgrade
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.

Re: Winter Project - Suspension Upgrade
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? IMG_0777.JPG Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry
