What year Vette? You mean independent suspension Vette?
BIG JOB
Check Frizzle Fry's build. He's doing one.

Seems to me someone else was doing one.....saw it over in the suspension section a while back, but I don't remember the thread title or user name.

Come to think of it, isn't Porterbuilt working on something for the Vette suspension in the rear?

I found a couple of threads for you to look at and get some ideas on this.

The one I was doing (on hold) would not apply to a standard build since I used the whole vette frame. Take a look at Rokcrln's Tahoe Build

I used a C4 front and rear on my 66. There are several ways to do it depending on what your trying to accomplish. Poerterbuilt has an awsome cantilever set up if your looking to lay frame with air bags. No one that I know of makes just a straight conversion for the rear. Porterbuilt and Flatout engineering make front crossmembers for mounting the front set up.

Porterbuilt makes a C4 rear dropmember for 68-72's. I am in the process of saving my money for it. I may have it by 2011. LOL!!
