The RideTech StreetGRIP Suspension Kit is a complete, easy-to-install package designed to bring modern handling, superior ride quality, and a great lowered stance to your 1963-1982 Corvette. Whether you are restoring a classic C2 or building a pro-touring C3, StreetGRIP transforms your driving experience by making the chassis feel more settled and controlled, reducing body roll, and sharpening steering response.
This system is proudly designed and manufactured in RideTech’s ISO 9001 certified USA facility.
Key Features and Components
-
Adjustable Stance: Lowers your Corvette up to 2 inches via lowering springs in the front and rear lowering bolts in the rear, allowing you to fine-tune your desired stance.
-
Performance Shocks: Vehicle-specific Ridetech HQ or RQ-S Series Shocks feature 24-position rebound adjustment to tune the ride to your exact preference. Both shocks use the same durable Fox Factory internal components and carry an industry-exclusive million-and-one mile warranty.
-
Dual-Rate Coil Springs (Front): Specifically designed coil springs drop the front 2 inches from stock ride height and offer the best of both worlds: excellent ride quality and sporty handling.
-
Heavy-Duty Front Sway Bar: A large diameter (1.125” OD) front sway bar minimizes unwanted body roll, keeping the tires planted during curvy roads.
-
High-Performance Bushings: Self-lubricating Delrin control arm and sway bar bushings eliminate unwanted movement, stiction, and slop for precise control.
-
Rear Lowering Bolts: Includes 1-2 inch rear lowering bolts (9.5-inch stainless steel bolt, bushings, and aluminum spacers) to fine-tune the rear stance.
Rear Leaf Spring Option (Optional)
The kit is compatible with your existing stock Corvette leaf spring or the NEW RideTech Steel Rear Leaf Spring (available as an option), which features an industry-exclusive design:
-
9 Total Leafs: The first six are full-length, providing a more favorable base spring rate of 175 LB rate (versus the stock 140 LB rate).
-
Minimized Body Roll: The rate jumps up to 225 LB when the three overload leafs engage, translating to minimized body roll while maintaining excellent ride quality.
-
Durable Finish: Coated with an epoxy/graphite primer and a black topcoat for durable corrosion resistance.
-
Complete Fitment: Includes all-new Grade 8 hardware and side shims that ensure fitment on all 1963-1982 Corvettes with 2.25" and 2.5" wide leaf.
The complete kit is easy to install and includes lowering springs, adjustable shocks, high-performance self-lubricating bushings, and a heavy-duty sway bar, along with hardware and instructions.
