Hub-to-hub width of RideTech vs SpeedTech vs stock?
 
Can anyone tell me the hub-to-hub width (not including rotor hat thickness) of the complete Ridetech front end with their tall spindles vs. Speedtech w/ ATS spindles vs the stock drum spindle width of 59"?

Thanks!
joe

Hey Joe, long time no talk. Last time I checked the stock hub width was 60", the same as the Camaro. That's why we build our clip that width.

Thanks for the quickly reply! I'm making some custom stuff and looking at current aftermarket uprights, but want to retain as close as possible my current hub-hub width with current wheels. So trying to figure which companies have what widths.

As far as I could read it's 59" hub flange to hub flange for drum spindles minus the thickness of the drum, and disc spindles minus discs are +9/16" thickness per side, so bringing that to total flange-to-flange stock disc setup as 60.125"

Maybe some direct input from Ridetech & Speedtech as to what they design their systems around would be awesome!

I will get this tomorrow for you

Any measurements from Blake or Bret?

Thanks!
Joe

Not yet. Remember this is Thanksgiving weekend, when even the most hardcore of us are trying to stay away from the shop :)

I'll try to have someone get this info in the next couple of days.

frojoe 12-02-2013 10:18 AM

Oh sorry, didn't mean to put pressure.. I forgot that being from up here in Canadia eh!

No rush, just wanted to "get some attention" so that the numbers could be dug up at some point :P

The tru turn frint end is 60" wheel mount to wheel mount, same as oem. This will vary slightly according to exact alignment specs and exact ride height.

frojoe 12-04-2013 12:15 PM

Awesome, thanks Bret, that's exactly what I was hoping for!

Blake Foster 12-04-2013 12:38 PM

60" Plus your rotors

frojoe 12-04-2013 05:49 PM

Perfect, thanks Blake!

One more question for you SpeedTech folks.. what's the maximum backspacing you can fit on the regular curvy Speedtech (not high-clearance) UCA & LCA, with factory drum spindle? Maybe if you don't have that, the max BS for regular arms with AFX spindle?

Vancouver misses you guys!

Cheers,
joe

speedteck regular control arms and rideteck truturn I have 18x10 wheel 6 inch back spacing at full lock the rim slight touches the control arm so a 5.75 back spacing should be perfect

frojoe 12-06-2013 10:08 AM

Awesome, thanks for the added info v8s only!

Keep in mind the Nova has narrower outer fenders than the Camaro as well.
by about an 1"
mine are 9.5 with 6.5 bs (on our Subframe) and the inner fenders are HEAVLY modified out by the fender as are the fender lips

Awesome, thanks for the info Blake. And yes, I'm aware of the massive modification needed, but that's no big deal considering all the other stuff I'm done to get it to this ride height.

Cheers!
