62-C1

I trying to decide between the Jim Meyer racing IFS in the Martz Chassis IFS System for my 62 Corvette. I have received info. on Jim Meyer but would like to talk to someone who has installed a Martz system in the last several years.Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at the Martz when deciding. I don't know what it looks like now but I didn't like the flimsy looking crossmember and I didn't want coilovers.

this is what the MacGyver IFS looked like, can't find them with a google search now so they may not still be in business.

Thanks Bill
I can't find MacGyver either, must be out of business. Do you have an email address for Heidt? I have not heard about them.

a thought to consider... almost anything in the way of a 54 chevy IFS system will fit a C1 Corvette.

Bill,
What is your reasoning for not going with coilovers?
I have talked to several people who have installed the martzs System, they are very happy with it both have said it's the best money they ever spent. Still trying to decide.

my reasoning has nothing to do with how well coil-overs work, it's just they are more expensive to use than traditional coil springs and shocks and I don't need adjustability.

I just looked at the Martz website pictures of the IFS, I still don't like their crossmember with all its openings. I prefer a closed boxed crossmember.
