Default need suspension for 70 camaro, where ??

Where can I get suspension parts for a 70 camaro? im looking for straight line performance mostly, although i drive this car on the road everyday.

Planning on getting some Nittos for the rear, and looking to make this thing hook from a dig pretty well.

454 bored .030 over

We offer upper and lower a arms. They will save you about 10lbs. off of the front end.

see im not really sure about the older camaros and upgrading them. my brother and dad bought some special suspension stuff for their 69's

its like a package thing, converts a bracket in the back to have disc brakes and those brackets change where the shocks mount. and they welded a shock bar under the car, above where the rear end. ill have to get the website for those parts. idk how much the cars changed in that 1 year difference.

Nice, im thinking mostly along the lines of drag shocks I would think as far as traction goes.

It'd be so much easier to find parts for a ls1

There are plenty of parts available for those old camaros. If you search through summitracing.com or jegs.com, you will find many many different options. You can keep the leaf springs and use some sort of traction or lift bars or go to a 4 link. All up to how much you want to spend.

Exactly!


It's just like the old time NASCAR builder Banjo Matthews used to say, "Speed cost money...How fast you wanna' go???"
