Thread: Anybody have C4 Covette suspension in their streetrod?

You might do some more research...as I remember, the 84 Corvette was the first year of the new design and it rode really bad.....whatever they did in 85 corrected the problem....maybe it was just springs but you should check out the differences before you spring for a suspension. 84 corvettes are cheap because of the rough ride, the dash problems, and the PP engine (cuss fire).

Hey, thanks for the response Robot! That's good to know.

For what it's worth, the Flat Out Engineering kit replaces the OEM springs with coilovers, which would probably make some difference in the ride depending on their adjustability.

From what I can tell, '84-'87 suspension parts are interchangeable. The '88-'96 are about an inch or two wider, I think.

As for the donor car, I would only get the front & rear suspension. The rest of my car (drive train) would remain Ford!
