New member from sunny San Diego.

I picked up a 1970 Nova that the previous owner had spent 6 years building. Not 100% sure on the direction of the project, but I'm open to ideas....

Here's my ride the day I trailer it home:

We offer the most well-balanced, easy to install rear suspension available for the 68-74 GM X-Body (Nova Platform). The chassis under your car nearly identical to that of the 67-69 F-Body with a slightly longer wheelbase.

Using our proven track record in torque arm development and application we developed a torque arm conversion kit that brings modern suspension technology to these cars.

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

The guys at V8TV recently shot a great install and results video of our kit on a customers 71 Firebird:

Here is a video of a customer who got 2nd place in Street Machine Class at Kansas Good Guys last Summer. He was 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 some major time off 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.”


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