hello everyone im new here i came over from team camaro as one of there members thought id best find the ansers to my questions here . so here i am. i have recently been bitten by the g machine factor im highly motivated to get this car on the road this summer.
a il about the car . 69 camaro 572 gm crate stock front suspension 12 bolt posi rear eaton steel clutches 800lb springs , moser bolt in axles. i beleave due to some huge gouges to the bottom of the front sub frame and a few other indicators like a partly bent under front control arm is reason to beleave its history.
now i have been surfing and reading for days . some of you here runs some awsome stuff im in im game . who makes the best front bolt in ready to go beast all around handling performance gains etc for the price. ? i have looked at chrisalston , morrison , tci , martz , speedtech , detriotspeed . who is actually the company i got my rar springs from, not to mention a few other places that had mainly drag clips . anyways i have 18 inch wheels front 8.5x 5.o with 235x40x eagle f 1 front tires and 18x9.5 rear with 245x40x18 rear
i want to know wich sub frame is the best deal and if any ones uses any of theese frames or knows of some i might look at then drop me some feedback help a guy out. thank

How about modify the stock frame? Sure you will not have the wow factor, but the performance is equivalent and you will have cash in the bank.

my stock front frame is trashed im sure of it when i had it out of the car it wouldnt even sit square on stands for me so i know its twisted and some of the huge gouges i mention have almost eaten away at the lower x member so bad it would have to be replaced id rather buy a new product bolt it in the car and be done. its a nice car i took 2nd in this years sacramento autorama . BUT the front end has to go.

Well, there are no real hard numbers available for any of the subframes which may be hard to do anyway as the rear suspension package will play important roll in how the total package performs.

I like the Art Morrison Chassis. It has all the right parts in all the right places at the right price. They have proven their other stuff to works, so I have no doubt this clip will work as good as it looks. I know the 55 we did with the AM full chassis was one of the best riding, handling cars we built, and as simple as bolting the chassis in. I like the idea that this is what they do, build chassis!

at this point right now the rear suspension is cheap enough to reclaibrate to the front its the front that is a cash chunk hit . will visit your site and read the info. thank you will be looking forward to hearing more.

Just to clear things up, it is $6450 if you are to buy all the pieces seperately, but we offer a $500 package discount to get to the $5950 price.:twothumbs
