   Improve your rear suspension geometry on your Corvette! The Basic Drag Kit was featured in "Corvette Fever" and acclaimed as "wickedly consistent".  This is a street / strip package for Corvette enthusiast on a budget. It will; improve standing start traction, reduce breakage through better geometry, and improve tire wear. The Dragvette suspension package improves handling on the street. I drove this system for thousands of miles personally and developed it at the race track because of parts breakage. How many street Corvettes have you seen that blasted 1.45 sixty  foot time with out spewing their parts all over the track! The Basic Dragvette Kit includes alignment instructions, and a help line with a knowledgeable  drag racer plus the quality parts pictured on the left. Four 3/8 x 1 3/4 Hex head screws with lock washers are also included in the Basic Drag Kit.

Dragvette developed a  project car to install and test our 6- link suspension system. The 1973's development is posted on this site. Click the hyper link on the left side of the page named "6-Link Suspension"  to see how it all happened. Follow the early development of the Dragvette 6-Link Suspension System and the innovations to accommodate various after market modifications like dual mount mono-springs and Tom's Differential items. There is a separate model 6-Link for the 80 - 82 Corvettes click on that link for several pictures and the installation instructions for your special year Corvettes.

 Why order the " Dragvette 6-Link Suspension System" 

     The Dragvette 6-Link suspension system will positions the tire perfectly vertical to the road this gives you better traction with a larger tire contact area. It also results in even tire wear and longer lasting tires.  The 6-Link has a top strut bar link. If your half shaft goes away your Corvette will not let the tire go into the body of the wheel well and stop the wheel from turning the tire. The Dragvette 6-Link will keep your Corvette standing tall.

(rear cover is not included )

  The heavy duty rear cover is a great and low priced up grade for the 63-79 Corvette. The red unit is a heavy duty and the black unit is stock. Look at the difference in the u shaped part of the webbing on the casting. The heavy duty cover we supply is 6 -7 pounds heavier then the stock unit. That's a lot of beef where it is needed on the high horsepower Corvettes of today.

 

Muskegon Brake Heavy duty Cover___ $109.00  

 

Dragvette billet caps are the best replacement for your u-straps on the side yokes of your Corvette. Made from 1018 C.R.S. and zinc plated for rust prevention these billet caps will look good and hold better then the stock units. The stock units torque is 15-17 ft. lbs. Our billet caps are to be set at 30 - 32 ft. lbs. The reason you can do this is because the edge of the bearing cap is solid and our billet caps pull down on the edge of the bearing  cap and do no distort the bearing cap like the stock style  u-bolt does. Order the long bolt style for replacing u-bolt style clamps and if you are replacing so old pitted unit with the threaded style side yoke order the short bolt kit.

 

4 billet caps in a set ______$109.00
