I am looking for other coilover options for the front of a 1st gen Camaro. I currently have QA1's but I am wondering who else makes a coilover setup. I have Global West arms with ATS Spindles.
Does Koni or Bilstein make a bolt in coilover unit for the front? Any part numbers if they do?
Thanks.

Uh, no. You can make them work with the mods you have. All you need to do is change the location of the location bar on DSE's jig. It is real easy. Cut the bar off of the jig, bolt it to your stock holes on the UCA mount and then reweld it to the jig. The only catch is you will lose your deposit on the jig.

The other catch is that the mount will not be perpendicular to the frame, and the front of the mount will be above the frame, there will be nothing to weld too.
When I did it, I set the bar according to the stock rear bolt, and maintained the angles between the frame and the mount. The front bolt will be about 1/2" lower than stock in this configuration.
The rear bolt is the one that sets the height of the arm.
