Short answer: Yes, possible.
Long answer: Get to hunting for stuff on Summit Racing's catalog, I believe both Hotchkis and QA-1 make coilover conversion kits for their hardware in those cars. I could probably build something if I studied the suspension and frame design a bit more.
What year specifically are you looking to install this on? I'm not familiar with generations of Camaros.
-edit-
Found what I was looking for. I wasn't aware the 2nd gens used leaf springs out back, that makes things a hair tougher. If you're going for coilovers all around, you'll need to 3- or 4-link your rear axle and possibly add a panhard rod, depending on space and frame restrictions. Its' doable, but quite an effort.
As far as the front, Custom Works Products has a custom coilover conversion for a decent price, check out some of what they've got.
Not sure if that's entirely what you were looking for, but its' a start.Last edited by Daviticus; 04-08-2012, 02:26 PM.- Bagged '98 Chevy S10 - Stock '88 Volvo 240DL - Broken '87 Mitsubishi Starion ESi-R - Also Broken '87 Shelby Lancer #707/800 -

I'd be interested to see some pics of the car you're working with. I love seeing older, proper-sitting muscle cars.- Bagged '98 Chevy S10 - Stock '88 Volvo 240DL - Broken '87 Mitsubishi Starion ESi-R - Also Broken '87 Shelby Lancer #707/800 -

i will. So if i get the coilovers, can i set it up where as the wheels have the camber to look like they're leaning in? You know what I mean? That "stance'', ''slammed'', ''hellaflush'', can i do that with that coilover setup from that website you mentioned?

I can do anything for anything, just takes time and a budget [which I don't have either of at the moment, sadly].
As far as front camber on a 2G F-body, 88Monte pretty well summed it up. Shims on the bottom, and camber bolts on both A-arms are about the only way you'll get camber without switching to custom A-arms with adjustable ball joints. Out back you can physically bend the axle up to 1 degree, as that's all the splines on the axle shaft itself will allow without binding, but I would highly discourage it for a street car. That trick is usually only used for circle track cars anymore.- Bagged '98 Chevy S10 - Stock '88 Volvo 240DL - Broken '87 Mitsubishi Starion ESi-R - Also Broken '87 Shelby Lancer #707/800 -
