      Basic results of the Guldstrand mod

      I see alot of people ask should I do the Guldstrand mod or not, and many reason that they wont be racing so they dont need it, but I will tell you there are a few ways to improve the front suspension camber gains on your front double A-arm suspension.



      #1) You can shorten the upper control arms = money
      #2) You can install a taller spindle or Ball Joint = money
      #3) You can change the pivot points of your control arms = time

      #3 is the cheapest option (since you can't pay less than zero) simply drilling 4 holes and by using the template designed by Guldstrand it will lower the upper control arm pivot points by .75 inch. there are many of the templates avalible for free on the net or you can order yours from Guldstrand directly but they will charge you (well worth it youre getting a little peice of history) I waited to do this Mod till I already added tall Ball joints, tube arms, fat 255 front tires, Hotchkis Handle bars, the car was very dialed and has done well at many events, so doing the mod to the car now will show me what the results really are

      After the Guldstrand mod even during just daily driving over the last few days (to and from work 10 miles each way), large bumps and dips are less jaring to the front suspension, the nose of the car dips less when braking and raise about the same under acceleration and on top of that there's some bump steer reduction(a little bonus)
      I would highly recommend this simple procedure for any camaro even in stock form or as a race car the mod makes a safer driving car, in the next few weeks i will get some track time to really test it, after the first track day I will add the new Proforged tall Tie rod ends and see how those work

      I didn't do any measurements before the Guldstrand but it did drop the car about about 1/2inch from the tire to fender clearance
