Lower front end
#6
Hey guys,
I know I'm late to the party, but was wondering (now that I'm not going to use dropped spindles) I am going to upgrade to tubular upper & lower control arms. I've seen "some" lowers with a 2" dropped pocket for the spring. Are they worth it? Or just get a good set and get the lowered (stiffer) springs?
I'm getting closer to doing phase 1 of the car with the front end work. Including disc brakes. I've got some nice replacement heads, intake & carb, distrib & header exhaust to put on and enjoy for the next year before phase 2 (drop in my big block).
I was just wondering on the control arm issue since I just learned yesterday that the spindles are not the way to go on the Camaros.
Thanks

Just how low is too low on the front end of a '67 ? is 2", 3", 4" too low?
I'd love to go 235/45/17s up front & 275s in the rear ... so just trying to see what's up. I'd like the top of the tires even with the fender lip of fenders. ?????

Timeandmoney,
Thanks for sharing. I'm thinking (in my head) that I can get away with the 2" dropped spindles and a 1" stiffer lowered spring since I'm going to a 17" wheel. Maybe an 18" but I can get a great deal right now on some 17" tires 225/40s & 275/40s --- I'd LOVE to run a 245/45 & 275/45 but I don't want ANY chance to rub. Oh well, I guess I'll find out soon.
