Another rear disc question.
Actually, this was a toss up whether to post this in brakes or suspension, but here it goes.
I have 2000 camaro rear discs ready to go on my 68 camaro, but I am aware of the issue with the staggered shocks and clearance issues. I am also under the impression that other than the shock issue and possibly some fab work for the emergency brake this should be fairly simple to install.
While looking for ways to relocate the shocks I read that competition engineering's traction bars have mounting tabs that allow you bolt the shock outboard or outboard of the leaf springs. I am not crazy about actually having traction bars as I have subframe connectors and I dont have any serious traction problems at this point.
To get to the point...are there any adverse effects of moving the lower shock mounting point? Also, is anyone aware of a bracket that could be used for me to reach the same goal (moving the shock to get a little extra clearence)?
I would prefer not to go through with a full blown upper and lower shock mount relocation. I would also like to maintain regular caliper positioning.
Thanks for your input!!
