Hey Guys

[Rogue67]

Hey, I'm a newbie from SoCal. I have a 67 camaro with a 350 combo. It's my first car and am currently in the process of making it into a pro touring street car. I see so many nice rides and cool people on the forum so I couldn't resist joining. Look forward to talking to you and getting your opinions/suggestions on my car.

Welcome Dylan!! The car looks pretty good already..... I noticed in your other posts that you are working on the suspension. What do you have planned for it concerning suspension? We would love to have you on Team BMR!

Well I already have it dropped 2" in front and 2" blocks in the back.. I'm looking to do as much as possible with the stock subframe. When I did the motor swap I changed all the rubbers and spindles, rubber boots etc.. Basically it's all new stuff with the stock components. First I'm looking for tubular control arm's, subframe connectors etc. I'm gonna start front to back, I like the ride height it is right now so I'm trying to get everything at once then throw it on, that way I only have to take it apart once haha.. What kind of suspension products do you offer??

Nice ride. I am new here as well and was going to post a few pics of my ride, but I think I may be a little sub par.

We offer a complete line for the 67-69 platform:

Here is a VERY informative tech article written by our R&D manager explaining what it does:

Here is a video of a customer who got 2nd place in Street Machine Class at Kansas Good Guys last Summer. He is running air over shocks built for ride quality not performance and had not adjusted the roll center via Watt’s Link….. he should be able to cut about 2 seconds off this time just by addressing these issues.

Here is a install article that Super Chevy did a few years back:

We offer a Torque Arm kit for the stock GM 10 & 12 bolt rear differentials and a kit for guys who want a Ford 9". The Ford 9” kit includes a bare Strange housing for $600 more than the 10 & 12 bolt kits. Take a look at the link below detailing an install that a Pro-Touring member completed with our Ford 9 in. kit in his 1973 Firebird:

The owner of the 73 Firebird made the following comments to us:

“I've put 4000 miles on it and drive it at every possible opportunity. No track time yet due to other commitments but there is always this spring. I still have to play with the shock settings to soften up the launch, it is just incredible how the car reacts from the factory setup. The rear stays planted no matter if it's in the corners or straights. I've had ZERO issues with the entire setup, I'm EXTREMELY HAPPY with it. I hope to get some auto-x & road course time this spring.”

I still can't thank you all there enough for everything, the kit really changed the car into a ride that I truly enjoy driving.”


The control arms & wheel wells only allow a 315 tire on a 10"-11" wheel while using the OE rear. This is due to the factory leaf spring perch locations on the rearend. We have located the control arm mounts further inward on the 9" rear we offer which allow use of deeper offset wheels.

The 9” setup will allow up to a 345 tire on a rim up to 13" wide with widened inner wheel tubs to accommodate them.

We can build the 9" ranging from OE wheel offset up to 5" narrowed (2.5" per side). Most Pro-Touring style builds will spec out the rear as narrow as possible then measure for wheel offsets once the suspension and rear is mocked up in the car then order wheels. Some builders order the wheels first, mock them up in the car then tell us what width you need the rear.


Our entire 67-69 suspension system was recently showcased on Two Guys Garage as well:
