      What is the Ultimate Front Suspension for AutoX/Track for first gen. FCar?

      I am building a 1968 Camaro for CAM T, GoodGuys and Optimia events. The car will see limited street use. 98% Track 2% street. What is the best complete front suspension/subframe to use?


      Thank you for your comments!

      Do you want to win or just compete?

      Are you willing to work on the car all the time to keep it prepped and trouble free?

      Can you drive?......I mean really drive?

      Is autocross your primary goal with the track portions of optima being secondary?

      What are you planning for rear suspension?

      Money is not a limit within the context of the prices I have seen but obviously everting has its limit. I will have a pro driving the car

      Autocross and track portions of optima are the goals yes

      I am willing to work on the car as much as required and do significant amounts of testing. The first goal is to be a contender and then over the year to win

      Right, but in the optima series for a pro to drive you have to run Outlaw class unless you are directly related immediate family of the pro driver or the pro driver is the builder.

      Detroit Speed and SpeedTech are two good bets for off the shelf parts. I would talk to Mark as well but I am not sure if he is in the subframe business yet. https://www.lateral-dynamics.com/

      If you really want to win, overall not just GTV, you should probably talk to Mike and eliminate the production and street car compromises. https://dusolddesigns.com/

      Haven't shared details here with our front setup, but as with the rear, it is intended to be at the top of the heap for any track/autocross oriented car. If you'd like, check out our Instagram page for updates, which will be moving forward swiftly now.

      One tenth of a second on the race track is often the difference between first place, and fourth.
