Ridetech's New 67-69 F Body Subframe

Hey, Josh. What are the specs for the coil over shocks? I'm using a QA1 4-link on my 68 Firebird and want to use matching QA1 front coil overs. Thanks.

I currently have a ridetech 4 link with a stock subframe
On my 68 camaro (vert). I'm running Hotchkis subframe connectors. ridetech's frame connectors look similar in appearance. Is there truly any difference between the 2? If it's not necessary to change out I could live with the decision not to change out!

The front mount is really the only thing similar. Ours are completely bolt in and the whole leaf spring pocket is integrated into our subframe connector, making it more rigid in all the areas that are prone to flex/move. Those slide over the rear frame rails and have to be welded on.

We use a 3.6" stroke shock on ours. If you have to buy one pair of coilovers anyway, I would definitely look into using our HQ series in the front and rear. The monotube design is going to work much nicer on the street and track (and have a longer life span plus a 1,000,001 mile warranty)

Did you release subframe connectors for the convertible?

Hey Roger. We have not released any for the convertible cars yet.
