What bushings did you end up using? Is your car going to be lowered?

Brakes will be Wilwood Dynalite Big Brake 12" 4-piston slotted and drilled....wanted bigger, but that's a no-go on 2nd Gen Camaro's.

- The spindles are stock, but they have been modded to accept the Wilwood brackets

- Solid aluminum subframe bushings from pro-touringf-body.com

- Car will be lowered only via the Hotchkis TVS leafs and coils

Ok, now that I look at it, it's crap. It's all crap. Horrible. It's ugly, it's not gonna do anything, and it's just plain crap.....



Oh, ok.... Can you tell I'm getting more and more jealous? At least I'm keeping the stickers on mine to make it look store bought. Stupid jealousy.....

Looks great! only I don't get this:

wanted bigger, but that's a no-go on 2nd Gen Camaro's.


I will be running 13" C5 on mine....what is the reason you can't go bigger? (wheel size?)

Wanted to go with Wilwood or Baer. Baer were a Grand$$ more!!!

and Wilwood has nothing larger to fit a '73 Camaro.

"G" Brace??? Maybe...................:eek:

Yes indeed!!! the Wilwood brakes just came yesterday.

BTW, the steering componants are done in Eastwood's Spray Gray, and it is the perfect color and finish!!!!
