Does anyone have the stock suspension measurements of the front end of early Camaros or know where to get them? What I'm looking for is the measurements of the A-arms lenghts, spindle height, amount of Ackerman steering, steering arm length, caster, camber and bump steer through bump and rebound, tire slip angle, scrub radius, antidive, roll center front and rear, instant center and center of gravity. That's about it I think. I know I can measure them myself but I have not done this before and a small miscalculation could adversely effect any suspension modifications based on my data. I am 90% sure I'm going to use Guldstrand's mod. on my 69 coupe and just what to play around with other ideas I have in mind. Also I would like to confirm Guldstrand'd mod. improvements over stock on paper before I begin.

Thanks
Joseph

Have you gotten Guldstrand's info packet? There are some diagrams of the suspension geometry before and after the mod. It probably doesn't give you everything you want though.

Yeah, I got his stuff. But he only gives improvements in percentage over stock and some other helpful info. Unfortunetly, no physical dimentions are given.
