Speedtech Chicane for A body

[Chevelle598bb]

Anyone have any pictures of the new chicane coilover brackets installed on an abody? How about what length coilover to use with them? I have called and emailed speedtech and havent got any response.

The last time I called was on monday. The lady that answered the phone said everyone was in a meeting and took down my info. I emailed last week and the week before thanksgiving. I figured yall were busy and mayne short handed with the holidays. I knew yall would get back. No biggie.

HUMM running out of excuses aren't I
shocks are 11.12 - 15 using a 10: spring we use 1/2 x 1.25 wide bearing on the top and a standard T Bar mount on the bottom.. Afcos I think use a 5/8 wide bearing so you would need to make some spacers to take up the difference in width

here are spacers which adapt from 5/8" ID to 1/2"; 1.25" mounting width:

Tacked in place to mock everything up before welding it in...

We suggest clearancing this area at the base of the control arm mount too, giving the shock/spring assembly room to breathe. Check here for more info on the kit...
