If you want your TriFive to handle like a Corvette, then you need a Corvette Platform

       Hot Rod Jim’s TriFive frame dose just that, giving you a more stable platform to start with. Our 4 rail design give amazing lateral support and with its mounts spread across both rails when tied into the TriFive’s floor supports it creates a grid pattern making this frame as strong as you can get without going to a full tube chassis and gutting the car. The Corvette suspension updates the sprung components giving a better geometry and newer the newer technology found on modern super cars to your classic ride, preparing it to do battle with the 21 century roads and cars.

The "Grand Sport" Chassis -
       Hot Rod Jim’s Tri Five C4 Rolling Chassis "Grand Sport" is our bare frame powder coated with a complete Corvette Suspension rebuilt painted and installed to the frame. Our Rolling Chassis only needs you to tighten down the lock nuts and install your driveline.

       The Grand Sport features the wider suspension, and larger brakes of the late model 1988-96 C4 Corvettes.  The wider suspension is more stable with a better suspension geometry but dose requires the use of deep backspaced wheels to clear the fenders. The Grand Sport suspension is 62 inches wide, 2 inches wider than a stock TriFive.

       Hot Rod Jim's upgrades all of our Grand Sport Chassis to the 96 Grand Sport Calipers with the Corvette logos cast into the calipers. The Grand Sport brakes are a set of 13 inch front rotors with twin piston calipers up front, and a pair of 12 inch rear rotors with single piston calipers. When you cross the improved handling of the Grand Sport suspension with the adjustability of the Air Ride Shockwave's the results are breath taking but not brutal to the driver or his passengers. If you’re looking for a solid combination of handling, braking, comfort and a selection of later model wheels then this is the chassis for you.

Air Rides Shockwave -
       Air Ride’s Shockwave is the king when it comes to the air world. All the performance of a Coil over shock and the comfort of air ride, these single adjustable shocks come installed on all 4 corners ready for the best ride you never expected from your TriFive.

Modifications -
       This Chassis requires No modifications to your original body. The only modifications required are on Nomads and Station Wagons. Their stock gas tanks will not clear the Corvette Rear Suspensions.
