1st Drive / Midwest Chassis Fab 9 Rear end Wholly Crap... Just picked up my 98 Camaro from the shop.
This Rear end is unbelieveable.
Drives straight as an arrow & it feels solid.
My new rear end feels like its outta a Friggen Sherman Tank.
Rock solid... smooth & Quite !
15x10" Weld wheels fit perfect with a little trimming. lol
Pulls like a Freight Train...
Thanks Eric !

It looks like a top mount for the torque arm .... is it? Great looking setup and ditto on the photos ... I love the Weld RTS's, but, I don't like the thought of grinding my calipers.

it's definitely not a torque arm mount... it looks to me like he used that piece to bolt on his brake lines. kinda funny why it was done that way as we supply a laser cut bracket and hardware to do that with all our rearends... and at no extra charge.

Brake line bracket Yes, Eric is correct,
My mechanic must have modified that bracket for the brake lines.
I will have him correct that. I think he might have done that so he wouldn't have to disconnect the brake lines & bleed the brakes.
Car is going back to have the ABS /TCS Traction control rings pressed on when i recieve them & i will have him relocate the brake lines at the same time.
Im very happy with my rear end. People cant believe there eyes when they see my Midwest Fab 9 while the car is on the car lift. This is truely a work of art.
I wish i had the fabrication skills that eric & jason have at midwest. They really know alot about drivetrains,chassis & suspension.
Looks like they do every thing over there.
Top notch Fabrication, Engineering Suspensions,& great customer support !
The guys in my car club ( Cali General Z ) are going to take a look under my car today.

275/60/15 BFG TA Radial 28" Tall tire Im running a BFG TA Radial 275/60/15 on a 15x10 Weld RT-S wheel.
with a 5.5 backspace.
Rear end in narrowed 2" per side.
We ground down the calipers so the wheels would slide on & we shaved down the bump stops flush with the inner fender.
