Just finished up this past weekend doing all the brake suspension sticky upgrades to my 68 Coupe. The car was up on blocks from the first week of Dec. 07 to Jan 08. Upgrades included:
3rd Gen Iroc cardone steering box/with reman pump/pressure/ flow upgrade(.147/no shims)
1 1/8 addco front (599) and rear sway bar (671)
TRW 6320 coil springs
4wheel power disc brakes front (69) Camaro/rear 79 trans am master cylinder from a 69 corvette/bendix booster from 69 z28/right stuff detailing new steel lines and ebay prop valve.
JCW rear 3 21-245 leaf springs
budget 8.5 Nova 10 bolt posi with 3.42 gears
Jegster bolt in subframe connectors/ with new (CIP) clips
15X8 4.5 backspace ralleys rear/15X7 ralleys front(FW) i think I am going with 245/60/15 rear and 215/65/15 BFG T/A radials front
Its been a real learning experience and what I think is a sucessful outcome as the car is back on the road and stops and handles great! Driving it easy for now to settle in the rear end gears and listening for anything unusual. I am having to learn to drive again. The old mono leaf springs sagged and the car now sits ~2 inches higher in the back and seems lower in the front measures 14" from fender lip to wheel center. I like the look! The brakes are the biggest change going from manual 4 wheel drum to power 4 wheel disc not hardly any leg required to stop and pedal is good.
I cant thank Team Camaro Members enough as all the information is here to do the upgrades and if you take your time and research and gather your parts ahead of time you should have a successful project. Take your time, follow proper torque guidelines, and work safe.
