Got My Tru-Turn!

[Josh@Ridetech]

I finally got my True-Turn installed with a new Borgesen Power Steering Box, night and day difference! You can really feel the positive handling. My Camaro sits lower then it did before resulting in header clearance problems now. I emailed ridetech with no response, not happy.��
I did see on YouTube where a guy changed out his stock a-arms for aftermarket tubular a-arms with dropped spindles and he had the same results so he installed Viking Coil Overs and that took care of his clearance problems so I ordered a set of Vikings for my ride, I’ll keep you guys posted. ��

Hey Sonny, I've received a couple PM's on here from you but I hadn't seen an email come through if you sent it to me directly, sorry about that!

What control arm setup are you running with the truturn? Everything is designed to work together. Our control arms, spindles, steering arms, coilovers, etc... If you weren't running our spindle until now, it is a 2" drop as well. Just respond on here and I'll help find out where the issue is coming from!

Edit... I just went back through the thread and saw that you're running Global West arms with standard springs. It all depends on the stance that the previous kit gave you. Our full kit has optimal clearance and geometry at the 2" lowered stance (compared to factory height). If the GW setup was a drop setup with stock spindles to begin with, just installing the TruTurn linkage with spindles on their arms will give you another 2" drop on top of that. On those coilovers that you just ordered, you'll want to make sure that they're going to be at mid travel for the ride height you're wanting. If you didn't measure, you'll definitely want to double check that before installing them. I could tell you what length the coilovers would need to be with our control arms but on the GW arms, I have no clue sadly.

Good to know for guys doing this set up, at least I got a good price for the coil overs and I always wanted to do that someday. I would recommended going your way.

Ok my latest update, I bought and installed a Borgesen 12/7-1 Power Steering Box and installed it. Really works nice, very responsive! After everything is installed the car sits on the ground, it can be driven as long as you don’t require more then 2” of ground clearance, to fix that I just bought Viking Performance coil overs, now I just need time to get them installed.

Thanks for the update! I knew you'd like the new box!

Got my Viking Coilovers installed and adjusted to a ride height that I’m happy with, OMG what a difference! This car has never been so fun to drive now, I thank ridetech for their products and advice over the phone and internet. I’m looking forward to driving my Camaro a lot more without the scary bumpsteer I’ve expierianed in the past. I highly recommend this modification to any car that has bumpsteer problems 😎👍

How does the Tru Turn allow for a wider tire? Limit the steering travel? I have 245s on an 8" wide with 5" backspace, and the issue is the tire barely rubbing on the stock subframe at full lock.

Did you run into any issues with your Tru Turn setup and the GW control arms? I have the GW arms and want to get the Tru Turn but I would prefer not to have to replace my arms. Also did you do the Guldstrand Mod?

Sorry for the late reply, yes I had problems with the stopper, car had even less of a turning radius then before. Remedy, I cut the horn! Didn’t effect any clearance stops, my car was able turn turn normally and I didn’t have to buy new A-Arms.
