As well, I want to use the 4th gen Camaro front brakes on at least a 12 in rotor without trying to build adapters or having to weld mts.



      As for me, I am plenty capable of more than just bolting stuff together. I have a pretty fully stocked shop including lifts, tire machine/balancer, mig welder, tubing bender, plasma torch, gas ax, etc. I have run Late Model stock cars for a number of years as well as a CPrepared Camaro for autox. So, crunching suspension geometry numbers is not latin. However, if I spend my hard earned money, I am an ******* about stuff needs to fit!
      ok from what I have come across, some rack and pinions can have a slow ration making the steering feel slugish,you can have a great system with a fast ratio box, an LS fits the stock frame, and if you use the holley accs drive set up the AC goes up towards the valve cover, so no notching, and you can run 17x9.5 rims with the tru-turn from ridetech, you can use the ridetech Tru-turn with many different manufactures arms (I tested it with DSE, Globalwest, Hotchkis and ridetechs own arms so I guess it will fit most of them) and I use the 13inch c4/c5 hybrid brake system (see kore3 or CPP) with my 17x9.5 wheels
