Mark speaks so calmly, almost monotone at times. He surprises you with his humor sometimes. LOL!

The bolts to attach the upper a arms to the frame are serrated to allow you to tighten the nuts without the bolt spinning in the frame. Any of the Corvette parts houses has those bolts. I would get a set, it will make alignment changes much much easier. Other than that, awesome video!

I too have the Ride Tech suspension on a 75 Vette. Not sure if it makes a difference, but your rear coil overs are installed upside down from mine, and per the instructions. The adjusting ride knob goes on the downside for easier access and adjustability. Something to consider. Respond to your take on this. With that being said I look forward to watching your build. Good luck!

Hello Mark ,first of All I really enjoy your Channel ! I would like to install both front & Rear ridetech coilovers setup ? Can you tell me approximately how much is the Cost of both front & rear suspension parts ,Excluding the willwood brake & rotor setup ? Also where did you purchase your Ridetech setup ?? Please let me know ? You have done a Great Job on your Corvette ! Jesse

Hi Jesse, Thanks for commenting. I purchased my setups directly from Ridetech. Here’s the link: www.ridetech.com/product-category/applications/corvettes/1968-1979-c3-corvette/ With the brakes and the steering box I think I paid around $11k. If memory serves. I am trying to forget this number. The Ridetech guys are car guys and great to work with.

Nice video! I just found your channel and am now subbed. I've been wanting to put this same ridetech kit in my 77 vette. How do you like it and the borgensons steering box?

Thanks for subscribing Steve. I haven’t driven the Vette with the new suspension on yet. I’ll make a video with my thoughts when I do. Should be summer 2023.

Good video and work on the installation, but chrome bumper C3 should retain stock rebuilt suspension components.

I personally don't like the ridetech coilovers so I went with Global west coilovers they look so much better quality than ridetech for the same price.

I can always add that. I hard a different aftermarket rear Swaybar on it and it made the ride untolerable.

For me, customizing is the interesting part of the car hobby. I understand factory “original” restorations, its just not where my interest lay.
