Hey guys this is my first post I’m trying to get some info for my 68 Camaro(sorry if this is in the wrong place), it’s a lot but here it goes! since I purchased the car a couple years ago I’ve put a bit of parts including 454/th400, all new bushings in the front end, new body mount bushings, arm bushings, new hotchkis lowering coils, hotchkis sway bar It’s been sitting a bit lower on the right side vs the left side since I got it, Nothing I do/replace seems to even it out which has me thinking maybe the subframe is bent a bit? I have the subframe connectors in my garage ready to install but want to make sure all is straight before installing. I’m getting tubular upper and lower arms with coil overs very soon and want to know what you guys think? Possibly the right side arms are bent but I’m not 100% sure. Should I take the car as is to the chassis shop and have them take a look or should I replace the arms with the tubular and install the coil overs first then take it in?

Main reason for the coil overs and tubulars is that I installed the 454 and the long tube headers are very low to the ground, already have flat spots on the bottoms, would like to be able to adjust the coils and shocks, also have better handling.

for the arms I was thinking qa1(2 types, the regular tubular and the performance) vs hotchkis, thoughts?

and the coil overs was going with Qa1 double adjustable.(still figuring out spring rate)

please let me know what you think as I want to get my Camaro Driving nice and smooth without hitting the bottom.

thank you!

 

I think I'd take a trip to the frame shop first and let a pro check it out,get it straight before doing anything else IMO.

 

Sounds good I’ll take it to the frame shop and have them take a look first, what about the front arms?

Hotchkis or qa1 performance?

Anyone have either installed can give me some feedback?

thank you!

 

Sorry I have no experience with either but since you are going Qa with the coilovers maybe sticking with the same brand might be a good idea.
I've had a '69 years ago with a big block but never did the suspension,at the time I was a youngster on a low budget.
I have UMI and BMR stuff under my '01.
