I have emailed James of the OLC Camaro and Tyler, the originator of the ATS/Chicane bracket setup and both have confirmed to me the 5.2" stroke coil-over with 10" springs is what the system was designed to run. I got a rough measurement of front suspension travel in the neighborhood of 7", so the 5.2" stroke shock will definitely work. Now I just gotta convince Ridetech that is what I need and the system was designed to run.
I had some problems in setting up my rearend and finally realized why I was having so much problems. The Moser yoke I am trying to run is out of spec. I spoke to Moser and was told that the yokes are put through a heat treating process after they are machined and sometimes get out of spec from the heat treat. I sent it back to Moser to get them to broach it for me. Hopefully, I will get it back and all will be good to go. I am so ready to finish up this suspension so I can get the body ready for paint.
I'm doing my best to hang on to this car. I really don't want to let it go after working on it for so long and have so much time into it. I really want to see the fruits of my labor. Time is not on my side, but I'm trying to tough this out.
