1968-1982 Corvette

Schwartz Performance is proud to offer an all new C3 Corvette chassis.

 

The G-Machine C3 Corvette chassis utilizes our proven suspension geometry to increase your car's handling and ride quality. This chassis is equipped with our standard low-friction suspension components, splined sway bars, quick ratio rack and pinion, and a variety of different components to suit each application. 

Installation Details:

  • Bolts to the factory body mounts.
  • Uses OEM bumper, core support, and gas tank mounting locations. 
  • Configurable with most GM engine and transmission combinations. 
  • Compatible with a 3 inch exhaust system. 

Want wider tires?

  • All G-Machine Chassis allow fitment of up to 345mm-wide rear tires if you minitub the wheel wells.
  • The independent rear suspension system is narrowed to 53" hub-to-hub to allow a deeper dish on the rear wheels

Which options do I choose?

Brakes:

Our chassis comes standard with 13" Baer brake kits. The front brake system utilizes Baer 6P 6-piston calipers and 13" drilled and slotted rotors. The rear brake system uses a smaller Baer SS4 4-piston calipers and 13" drilled and slotted rotors with internal parking brakes. Need more stopping power? Step it up to a 14" front Baer brake kit. The 14" kit uses the same 6P caliper, but larger 14" diameter rotor with more surface area. An 18" minimum wheel diameter is recommended; however, some 17s may fit. 


Coilover shocks:

We use RideTech coilovers as standard on our chassis systems. The two options we offer are single-adjustable and triple-adjustable. Single adjustable coilovers offer 24 "clicks" of adjustment for damping, as well as ride height adjustment. These will suit the weekend autocrosser/roadracer, as well as daily drivers. Triple adjustable coilovers offer the same damping adjustment as the singles with the addition of high and low speed compression adjustments, and a remote reservoir. These allow you to fine-tune your suspension for a specific type of driving. These are recommended for those who are willing & able to spend time tuning the shocks, and/or for the roadracer where every thousandth of a second counts.
Air ride is also available, please call for pricing & info.

Independent Rear Suspension:

Our double A-Arm rear suspension system is a compact design and has been engineered to support 1,000+ HP. The overall rear track width is 53" from flange-to-flange. This package uses a Currie center housing, 35-spline axle shafts, and a bolt-in hub assembly with billet aluminum uprights. A cantilever rear shock configuration is also available.

Third member/differential:

The Independent Rear Suspension System requires a 35 spline TrueTrac differential. The differentials are available with a nodular iron or aluminum case. They come standard with a 1350 yoke and are available in ratios varying between 3.0:1 - 4.56:1.
