did'nt use factory springs or the cradles front and rear. I've seen them narrowed,split in the middle and rewelded,just does'nt look good. I put coil overs on all 4 corners Bob

Go with the Pfadt coilovers all the way around.... that'll get rid of the spring all the way around.

QA1 Just came out with a coil over kit for the C5/C6. I am doing the same thing you are doing but in a 68 camaro. Did you lengthen your torque at all?

While I dont want to knock QA1's quality - but Pfadt has been designing and selling coilvers for the Vettes for years, and at 1800 bucks, you can't complain about the price. Everyone that I know that has them, loves them.

Just my 2 cents.

c-6 vette is 107" and a camaro is108" move the motor back a half and trans forward a half and you have the same. I cut back into the fire wall 4 inch's and kept all the same locating points as a stock c-6

Very cool build. I'm doing something similar but with Viper components on a 69 Dart, less the V10 (too much weight and lack of balance). Where did you pick up your shortened axles? Are they new or did you have the stocks shortened? Thanks.

if you won't then i will! its a nice piece for a street rod... but its not a performance shock. the valving is ..... suboptimal.. and the adjustment is simple bypass orifrice (so thet change damping with temperature).. and they dont return to the same setting .. and 4 clicks on one shock doesnt equal 4 clicks on another...

but they look spiffy and are cheap
