suspension setup help Posted By: fyremanj1 On: 01-02-2008 @ 09:57:12 Reply | Edit OK I have a 67 camaro, I am after the best of both worlds as fas as driver is concerned. I am installing a 94 lt1, 4l60e, 9in 410 rear with discs, 17x8.5 rims w 275-40 on rear 255-40 front, 1 1/8 sway poly bushings troughout, welded subframe con,tubular uppers A arms,power rack pinion, lowered 1.5 in in rear with multi leafs. Question, I need the front brought down around 2in, should I go with high rate drop spings (620lbs hotchkis) or a moderate rate and drop spindles. I dont want a teeth jarring ride but taking a corner at speed is nice. Any opinions or suggestions are welcome -- 1967 RS/SS 94 LT1, 4L60E, 4 WHEEL DISC, 9in ford not finished yet.

My cam says VISA VISA VISA LOL 69 Maro 454 goes ratta tat tat SWEEEET SHOW Car Posted By: fyremanj1 On: 02-06-2006 @ 09:56:45 Reply | Top | Edit The car is far from stock now and I know it would not be worth converting back to a stock setup, I plan on keeping the car for a long time and pass down to my son one day. You mention that you need parts and have some to possibly trade, we may be able to work something out. Factory style parts that I wont need are as follows. upper A arms blasted and painted good shape new bushings. new coils not positive on the rate but measure up to factory height. new adjustable Comp Engineering front shocks. new installed but not driven, complete steering setup linkages etc. rebuilt manual box new rear summit shocks factory gauges, speedo/fuel door panels good shape (deluxe RS black) You mentioned the rear brake setup, is it for a ford 9in big bearing? it has factory discs but I would like to upgrade. Email me Fyremanj1@yahoo.com and we can work something out.
