Default Cheapest place to get C5 suspension parts?

Im looking around and the GM parts dealers online and wanted to know where the cheapest place is. So far the cheapest I have found the C5 parts I want was about $1200. Ebay is hit or miss on used stuff as no one wants to sell you a package with everything and it would suck to win half of the parts I need and lose the other half. LOL Im looking to get the following parts.

Upper and lower control arms
Knuckles
Hubs

Thanks
Mike

try calling around salvage yards.

do a search at http://car-part.com/index.htm

there are some places that specialize on corvettes only. they would be your best bet there is plenty of wrecked c5 vettes out there.

Default used stuff, although cheap is sometimes damaged

I got my C5 stuff from Fred Bean dealership in Pa. They will sell you the stuff at 5% over cost is you say that your heard about them from the Corvette Forum. I normally speak with Jeremy Fink 610-495-1800

Try any of the larger Corvette meets across the county. An example is Corvette Expo this weekend in Knoxville, Tn. There is always LOTS of suspension parts available for purchase.

Several of the large Corvette suspension reseller/rebuilders such a Ikerds Corvette buys a lot of suspension parts for their inventory at these larger Corvette Meets. I have bought a lot of C4 suspension at these meets for cheap money. C5 is even cheaper as there is still not a huge demand like C4 suspension parts at this time.
