1967 camaro "time to decide on suspension" ridetech maybe???
 

hello everyone,
First time poster and I am sure this has been covered but I have been searching for answers and I am having a hard time figuring out what to do. Ive been building this vehicle for years and I am a month out from picking it up from paint and body and I have decided to wait to finish the under body until all the suspension is done.. was going to lizard skin or POR 15 the bottom but was told to hold off till its mini tubbed and suspension was complete.

The suspension system I have come across a couple times is the RIDE TECH coil-over system for around $4000 and after seeing JON FREE's 1968 camaro and I am sold.. I have the similar color and i really like the BOZE wheels on his so not to copy much here but his vehicle has the stance i like and everything and im not sure if he's using the stock sub frame or not but im using mine and ive already power coated it and its done so no need to buy a aftermarket i don't think.

I know I can Detroit speed my vehicle for a little more money and have a 3 inch drop in the rear and 2 in the front and reach the same stance but the RIDE TECH seems to do the job for less and I hear its great..

and and all opinions are really appreciated. I am posting some before and after pictures of progress.

There are many great choices out there for your car. It just needs to fit your wants and budget! We can work with you on a kit, as well as anything else you will need.

Hi,
Have you seen my thread: https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=53284

It's some interesting answers there..

Thank you all for the reply's and thank you Carlsson for the forum thread link, that was very helpful! I think RIDE TECH is the way to go and its around a $1000 cheaper than DETROIT SPEED.

One question I do have is before i upgrade all the suspension should i already have the rear end that im going to keep and use for right now I have a original 10 bolt with drum brakes and I want to upgrade to a MOSER 12 inch with disc and i think it will be wiser to do it all at the same time instead of waiting to break my 10 inch then replace.. lol :bigun2:

You may want to wait because with the Ridetech you have to weld tabs on your rear end housing.

You do have to weld the upper 4 tabs. I have a lot of customers who just run what they have, and when ready to swap rears, just pickup another set of tabs.

Better off taking that 4k and adding 700 to it and order a Speedtech subframe package. It will simplify things with wheel fitment and rack and pinion steering.

That 4k is for front and rear set up. The Speedtech only covers the front suspension.

It boils down to the op's intended use for the car, and his budget.

Just my $0.00002
