Vette(s): My 1974 Vette sold last August 2014. I am still willing to show up to events and local gatherings if anything happening No new vette yet.
i got Bilstein on mine. i love them but pricey. i definitely got my moneys worth though.

Vette(s): 1982,150K,Renegade CFI,Hooker Side Pipes,85 fuel pump,Bilsteins,HD suspension, Aluminum radiator, SharkBar/w 5-Point Restraints. 3:73 gears coming soon.
Bilstiens on my 82 for about 2 years and I luv them. I drive mine daily and the suspension is HD anyway, so a bit more stiffness is okay with me.
 I don't exactly drive it like a race car, but it is nice to know it is there when I want it or especially when I need it!
Bilstiens rule!
IMO of course.
