Has anyone here put C4 Vette front suspension on an X frame car?
Trying to improve the handling and brakes for my '59.
Seems to be a common conversion for the Tri-5's.
But I see nothing commercially for the X-frame cars.
From what I can glean on-line our cars are 59"-60" hub to hub.
Pre 88 C4's are 62" and 88-96 are 64".
At 62" the width should easily be corrected with the proper wheel offset.
Don't want to use the wider version as I want to keep the deep dish look.
Complete stock used C4 fronts are readily available at $500 - $750
