      1967 Camaro Rear Shock Absorber Mounting

      new for 1968 Camaro The shock absorber mounting was staggered to resolve wheel hop issues on the 1967 camaro models, So is the a fix or upgrade/mod to staggered thr rear shocks on a 1967 camaro?

      from wiki-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Camaro_(first_generation)
      1968 saw the deletion of the side vent windows and the introduction of Astro Ventilation, a fresh-air-inlet system. Also added were side marker lights on the front fenders which was a government requirement for all 68 vehicles, a more pointed front grille, a front spoiler, and divided rear taillights. The front running lights (on non-RS models) were also changed from circular to oval. The big block SS models received chrome hood inserts that imitated velocity stacks. The shock absorber mounting was staggered to resolve wheel hop issues and higher performance models received multi-leaf rear springs instead of single-leaf units.

      I staggered the shocks on my 67 because i put on '90 firebird rear disk brakes. They use the same caliper on both sides so they would have hit the shocks on the left side. Unfortunately i haven't really pushed it the litle bit I drove it. I am doing a lot more work on it right now. I think it helped alot, since all leaf spring chevy's use this set-up to this day. The stock 67's had violent wheel hop!!
