Might be a dumb question, However I was curious if the Ride tech level one kit will work on a chevy 10 bolt?. I have read on the Speedtech forum that their Camaro GT suspension kit will work with "12 Bolt". Just curious if that would include a 10 bolt. Thanks for looking.

I just saw on speed techs tq arm kit it gives the option for a 10 bolt.

The 10 and 12 bolt housings are dimensional the same. The only reason why they need different versions is because of how the torque arm bolts to the rear and the bolt spacing. This is why they have to have a 12 bolt, 10 bolt, and Ford 9"version.

The 48 Hr camaro vid on youtube mentions that if you had a 10 bolt you "should" sell and get a 12 or 9 bolt. This true? Can I not use my 10 bolt. I am referring to using Ride techs 4 link.

I have the ride tech 4 link bolted to a 8.5 10 bolt. I think they are referring to the 8.2 10 bolt which is a weaker rear end. If you have any kind of hp you probably should upgrade at that time if you have the 8.2.

There aren't any issues with the 10 bolt fitting in the car, the brackets are all the same as well.

Not all 8.5 10 bolts are the same, the early Nova is different from the 2nd generation Camaro rear.
