Not your Average Fbody Camaro Build

[StandardFried]

thoroughly impressed.. a car i thought had permanently been hit by the ugly stick has been turned into something quite special props to you man!

[bigjoe]

Mine or his? mine is on air ride? and from what I remember QA1 only went 2" lower which is the same drop as sportlines.

Do you know anything about The Ground Control kit?

[Skraight.]

Hmm, MW chassis is literally right down the road from me. I have called before and asked and said they were still in development. I will have to head down there sometime.

[LCG]

Oh there are a lot.. Burkhart, Racecraft, Midwest chassis, etc...

Mind they are "drag racing" spindles but they should do just fine.(disclaimer blah blah blah)

I don't think they make drop spindles for 4th gens. The closest thing are the BMR 1" lowering control arms and they are almost 600$ last I checked.

I would do this:

Front: 2" drop spindles and QA1s/Strange coilovers with shorter springs.
Rear: Fuel cell on the trunk and move proper suspension geomtry up, coilover conversion on the rear.

Its really easy but at the end I think the cost would be around the same as bags.

My parents had a 96 camaro when I was growing up and I always pictured stuff like this for it haha good work and props on something out of the ordinary on here.

How low Qa1's go? 3''?

How much did you cut off your springs to go this low?

[Skraight.]

Me and him both looked into the QA1's, they don't go low at all. It's either cut springs or air ride for these cars it seems.

RideTech claims they will be coming out with a full coilover that actually slams the car soon.

Rolled rears, still rubs, theyre just tires so its fine.
Front hasnt ever rubbed. If you have Long tubes, get rid of them. Use mids or shortys with a custom ypipe and custom exhaust, since it is usually the lowest point on the car. My k member is 2.5 inches off the ground, my rear bump stops are removed the stop points are 1.5 inches from the rear axel.
Jack points are stupid low, i have to drive on 2x4 to put a low pro jack under the car
Id suggest you go bags, just saying it will make life so much easier.
Since the car is so long the front lip scrapes EVERYTHING, any little incline the lip is on the ground.

Thanks for the info,
I am running Longtubes/y-pipe/Complet catback.

Im lowered on Sportlines, sideways on speedbumps and 2x4 to jack it up also lol

I'm looking into 2 Way ajutable Qa'1s from summitracing for the Front. But still looking arround to find ajustable sleeves or something just for the back...

great build!

How bad was the rubbing front and back?
Rolled fenders? Ground clearance?

I'm in the middle of a build myself with a 95 Z28 thats why with all the questions lol
