That looks like a fun day ahead. I have my Ridetech setup in boxes downstairs and I can't wait to get my RT coilovers and Scott Mock subframe in the coming weeks. Make sure you document it well.

lol i'm trying i hit a wall though :scared:
wheels don't fit they run into the outter tierods and thats on stock spindles theres no way they will clear the drop spindles still don't have my disc brakes for my drop spindles so its looking like i'm going to need some different wheels against my better judgement i bought these cause i found a great deal on them on lat-g but they just aren't going to work up front plus monies tight so i gotta unload these before i can order new ones
either that or save up for the tru-turn now

Or try a set of these. Friend has a street strip truck with a set of either the thinnest or one step up and he run slicks with about 600 hp and 10 in wheels tucked in car, hooks and goes down track good. He used one set, then pulled them and had them stress analysed, no issues, well built and plenty stout and he ran some autocross's somewhere before too.

also what sizes are your wheels might know of a buyer.

wheels are centerline lazers
17x8 front 5.5in bs
17x9.5 rear 5.5in bs
looks like you need a tru-turn upgrade kit. you already have the spindles, so it's $650 instead of $1000.
in the end, it's only money.
on second thought......
hold on. I would ask Brett if anyone has tried the tru-turn with the thorley tri-y's yet. they don't look like they sweep back enough to clear the drag link bracket.

I am running Doug Thorley TriYs on my 1969 Nova with a true turn kit and I have no interference. In my experience, Camaros are nearly identical to third gen Novas. I think my headers were even meant for a 67-69 Camaro. Good luck!
