The New Corvette system offers many advantages over the OEM suspension system... The engineers have put their heart and soul into fabricating a complete suspension design that is a direct bolt in to the C3 Corvettes. Up front the task was to increase camber gain and minimize bump steer.
By utilizing the Ridetech ''Tall Drop'' spindle and tubular StrongArm control arms with Delrin bushings the ride height was lowered two inches, camber gain was increased to match the requirements of modern tires, the ball joints were updated to a modern style and relocated for increased caster and the correct angle for the lower stance, while the self lubricating Delrin bushings keep things where they should be without required maintenance.
The TruTurn system reduces bumpsteer to under 0.060'' and increases steering response by relocating the inner tie rods and replacing the outer tie rods with PTFE lined heim joints. New billet aluminum steering arms are supplied that correct the ackerman which results in a vehicle with amazing turn in and steering feel.
StrongArm tubular control arms not only improve suspension geometry and handling, they also make installation even easier. The added benefit when replacing control arms is new bushings and ball joints. No more worn out components.
Features:
- Optimized ball joint angle to ensure no binding during extreme suspension travel
- Black powdercoated for lasting appearance and protection
- Installed Ball Joints for simple installation
- 0.219'' wall DOM tubing for lasting strength and reliability
- Shock mounts, swaybar mounts, & steering stops are built in no fabrication needed
- Proper Coil-Over placement component mounts are designed in, not an afterthought
- Proper ball joint selection we use a compression ball joint in a compression application and a tension ball joint in a tension application (just like the factory engineered it) to prevent failures
- Optimized arm length makes proper wheel alignment a breeze
- Jig welded every part is built right, every time
Note: The C3 Corvette TruTurn Suspension package uses a GM Spindle used on 1967-69 Camaro (F-body), 1964-72 Chevelle (A-body), and 1968-74 Nova (X-body). Any Brake Kit designed to fit the OEM Disc Brake Spindle of the listed cars will fit the Spindle in your TruTurn System. Corvette brakes will not work.
