A co-worker an I were talking about the lower control arms on a customers 1968 firebird. He has coils on it currently in the front. He wants to change to an air ride or coil-over to lower the car a bit more.
I know they offer different lower arms for the car with and without coil spring applications. The debate was we could modify the lower "shock" mount by welding an additional plate to the bottom for strength saving from having to purchase the arms again for also $600....my thought was maybe the coil-over arm has a different geometry to where it bolts to not just strength. If I look at my car, The QA1 coil-overs look to be in the same location as this cars coil spring and shock combo. What are the experts thoughs?? we called the manufacture today but didn't get an answer to settle the debate....friendly of course
Thanks
