I recently bought a 1960 Vintage Race Corvette, and after one test and tune session I decided the front king pin suspension required an upgrade. I am building a new, bolt-in front suspension so the car can be returned to its vintage form at any time. In order to retain the Duntov racing brakes (C-3 calipers and rotors), I decided to use as many C-3 components as I could. These are the new VanSteel 1" drop C-3 spindles - CNC machined 6061 and 1" taller for better roll center. They appear to be high quality, and they are compatible with stock C-3 control arms. I will not use the steering arms as my project will use a front steer rack and pinion, but VanSteel has indicated a willingness to fabricate steering arms of my design for me. I will follow up with photos of the assembly installed in a 15" rally wheel.
