Anyone use Speedtechs second gen tubular control arms?

[David Pozzi]

If you do the Guldstrand mod alone with no added caster, the caster will "go away" when you turn the wheels, and the outboard loaded wheel will tip out on the top.
The max amount of positive caster with stock arms is somewhere around 3.5 deg + or so, use as much as you can achieve with or without the Gmod.
Guldstrand sells steel offset bushings to achieve more caster. In the 60's and 70's when these parts were invented, Camaros were racing and competing in classes that didn't allow tubular arms, so stock arms had to be left alone but special bushings could be used.

Tubular arms do enough improvement alone for most street only first gens according to Global West. If you want to autocross or do open track events, with a first gen, do the Guldstrand mod too.

Second gen Camaros have better geometry, but on second gen road racers some teams also did a Guldstrand type mod. (no I don't know how much they lowered)



The first gen with Gmod has more neg camber gain than a stock second gen, or a new vette for that matter.
