Default Question about BRP set up.

Do you have to use tubular a-arms and disc brake spindles for a 69 camaro? I have been looking at there web site and can't get any info. off of it. Not even a price. Basically, I want to use the rack and pinion setup, but keep everything else the same, for now. I have drum brakes currently. I have done search but nothing really answered my question except that I think I can use this kit with the drum brakes but I am not certain of this. Any info. would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have an answer for you... but there website has the best resource for information on their kits... their PHONE NUMBER.

Not trying to rag on you, I just find it sort of funny that it seems that since the popularization of the internet, people have forgotten about the phone as a communication tool.

lol, I know what you mean. But, if you look at the time that I made this thread, I couldn't call them. And I usually get a quick answer in here, but I guess not. I figured someone with this product would have the answer. Thanks for the lecture though.


Just kidding.

I am using stock lower A-arms, so yes they work. The only difference between disk and drum spindles is that the drum ones have a bit thicker upper bolt hole boss. So, the billet steering arms should work on either type of spindle.
