You’re mostly transfixed on a total suspension overhaul. I think there are 3 subframes out there that are a cut above the rest. DSE, Art's, and 21st century. Art also has a full frame with a built in 3 link on the back for the camaro. The front half is just like their subframe, its killer. It's a full frame for a car. If I was doing this over, that would be the deal I would go with. Here is something else. Time Machines has put together or is putting together an Art frame with the 21st century c5 rear for the camaro. They are cutting the back half off for the c5 rear. This sounds pretty cool. But you would need a top notch shop to do it. This alone may eat up a substantial piece of your budget, but you would basically have a c5 suspension camaro. Personally, I would do the Art full frame and call it a day. Lot's of fab work, but ohhhh what a killer car you would have. If you don't want to spend that kind of cash on all that fab work, get a DSE sub, some subframe connectors, and spend your money doing other improvments.

Thanks for the quick reply. I really like the LD 3-link that is already in the car. I've hit it a couple of times and it tracks straight, no hop, and plants the 315 rear tires solid to the ground. Plus it looks like a piece of engineering jewelry. I hear more oohs and aahs from people when they bend down to look at it than I would with a couple of 13 year boys seeing their first Playboy. (Who knows, It might even cause the same effect?)
It's really nice when engineers and professional mechanics take the time to check it out. It's truly is a fine piece of equipment.
Also when I bought the car from Mark he mentioned it had been a big part of the building of his business. As a small business guy, I understand and I want to keep those roots as part of the car.
Lateral-1 lives on.
Given this extra news, what would you suggest?
