|  Looking for C5 parts
With all the C5's running around, you'd think that finding used C5 parts would be easy: I'm trying to freshen up my front suspension and control arms are still available but they will be over $1200 at list prices. Can anybody offer a place for discount or salvage parts?

Thanks, but I've checked with these guys. The way it was explained to me is that the cars usually come in with front end damage and, hence, a shortage of what I'm looking for.

I've not looked for Vette parts myself yet, but when I need a part at a good price I use rockauto.com Google search rock auto discount and you will find sites with discount codes too. I think no more then 5% but still, better then nothing. I've replaced two control arms and an intake gasket recently, all parts from rock auto. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| I found what i think is a pretty good deal from the local Chevy dealer who is the local NCCC club sponsor. About 25% off! | ||||||||||||||||||||
