69 Camaro coil over help an tires
 
I have a stock 69 Camaro besides brakes an rear end am thinking about going coil over maybe by air ride don't know just yet but what size of a rim an tire could I run on the rear if I go coil over 4-link on the rear with out mini tub's. An what if I do mini tubs? An what other coil over 4-link kits out there that r good for 69 Camaro that don't break the bank? An I'll be doing the whole car coil overs if I get a kit....

Thanks jason

Jason I dont think you will get a lot of help with generic questions like this as they have been covered a million times. Use the search tab on your top right of your screen. As for coilovers they are a bit overkill in the front especially on a budget since you will need new lower control arms or seriously brace the stock ones. Also from what it sounds like you are looking for you cant beat a triangulated 4-link. Its realitively inexpensive, simple to install and works great. I hear ridetech's 4-link and the prodigy bar are great options

Oh yeah and 69 camaros can run a 275 rear tire and maybe a bit wider if you center the rearend perfectly

Stock tubs you can do a 10" wheel with a 275 tire. I have seen a few guys run 285-295's on stock tubs but would def need perfect BS on the wheels and possibly rolling the 1/4 lips.

Mini-tubs 12" wheels are standard. Some guys run 12.5 and 335 tire. Some run 345's but again you can run into clearance issues.

For the 4-link lots of kits out there. What is your budget and intended use of the car?

I'm running the Alston G-link, pretty simple install to the body, and you have to install the brackets to your own rear end. Otherwise other good choices off the top of my head would be DSE Quadralink, AME 4 link, Speedtech TQ Arm, Jakes Rod Shop TQ Arm, Ridetech Airbar or the G-Bar which is similar to the G-link. You could also look at TCI and Heidts.

I would probably talk to some of the sponsors on the site to see costs between these and amount of work required to install.

Agreed. You can run a 275 if you are centered well, virtually no fender lip work- mild trim or roll will suffice on a '69.
We've done it MANY times.

Good luck!
