      it will NOT fit an A BODY it uses the wrong ball joints. I have not plugged the numbers into the suspension program to even see if it is close. once I get through all this I will look at it but don't hold your breath, the CURRENT AFX spindle works wonders on that platform.

      Sorry, but there are no photos available yet of the front subframes. This was just an announcement of what's coming soon. We're currently taking pre-orders & creating a build list.

      If anyone has more or different questions about the suspension in the full chassis or front subframes ... I'm happy to help.

      New sub-frames sound great! Couple of questions I'm running a LSX motor /T-56 trans in 68 Camaro ...
      What oil pan clears frame/rack pinion?
      Motor mounts/ motor position?
      Headers?
      Will my factor Camaro (4th gen) front drive accessories clear ?
      Thanks for the time

      Ryan, Blake Foster of Speedtech will need to answer these questions as he is doing all the mock up in the car. I just designed the suspension & steering geometry. Give Blake a call at (435) 628-4300.

      The very first chassis being built with my new suspension & steering geometry is the Speedtech C10 Truck Chassis. They are just about finished with it & will post up photos in the next week or so. The new 1st-Gen Subframe will be "similar" but not identical. The 1st-Gen Subframe is not in production yet. The design work is completed & it is in the prototype & test fit stage. I think Speedtech will start production of the 1st-Gen Subframe & suspension packages we have pre-sold in a few weeks. We can't nail it down any closer than that.

      w0w I missed this thread, glad it got bubbled back up. Having Ron as an advisor /contributor to this is huge.

      Since the A body (66 Chevelle) is not listed, where should I send the car to get proto typed? )

      its is a little early to answer all of these 100%
      We KNOW the ATS and Autokraft will fit. the GM muscle car pan MAY the design of this suspension is NO COMPROMISE so something MUST give. We are Pretty confidant that a Big Block WILL NOT FIT, height wise. for instance, but really this is a road race auto X suspension and you will be using a LS or SBC.

      Frame stands will come with the sub frame (included in the price) LS or SB the ATS adaptors will still need to be used.
      the Engine position.................. it will sit where it FITS.
      we will have headers that FIT, I can guarantee NO off the shelf header will fit. it is SUPER tight.

      The eonly issue will be the AC compressor, as per usual, we have tried the CTSV and Corvette and the pump physically will fit it is the location, the fittings are the issue they need to come out the top of the pump we found a TrailBlazer pump but the distance out for the belt is wrong. BEST bet is an aftermarket drive or No air.

      This is the front suspension on the C10. the front cross member will be just about identical. the control arms will change in width to narrow the WMS to the required Camaro width of 60" (plus brake hats) we did this because it makes the suspension work a bit better. So at least you can see roughly what it will look like.

      The Camaro will probably use a Sweet MFG rack (waiting for a sample to test fit) which will be WAY better than most others available. This will handle 315 front tires in any application and last.
      The splined sway bar will be available in multiple rates from 570lb for the street to 1250lb for a big road course.

      obviously the sway bar is not installed on this frame yet. Monday

      Ron Sutton I'm willing to sign the adoption papers if you will have me? I come with a bit of baggage, a wife a kid and a Chevelle! Can't wait for pictures and pricing, just started looking at the 2-3 options currently available for the Chevelle.

      Tory, I'm all in on the kid & Chevelle ... because I love kids or Chevelles. But, we'll have to negotiate a bit on the wife. I love mine, but one is enough

      A lot of people are asking about the new first gen & second gen subframes that are coming ... but the new full chassis is going to be bad azz in the A-bodies, trucks & 567 Chevies. Can't wait.

      FYI: I can't take credit for the style & cool looks of the frame. I didn't design the frame, just the suspension & steering geometry.
