More Camber Gain!
As of this moment, I have a 68' Camaro with 18's, GW Control Arms and QA-1 Coilovers. The spring seats are .5" away from the bottom and it's not nearly as low as most Pro Touring sets ups and I want to go lower. I have stock spindles and the older GW lower A arms. *I learned that they have a newer model that makes the car sit an inch lower*
Having said this, there are two options I can go with:
1) Buy the lower A arms from GW to make the car sit an inch lower (I'd be happy with that result)
2) Buy Ridetech's tall dropped spindle that lowers the car two inches, increase my camber gain and will be able to raise the spring seat to compensate the adjustment thus gaining some shock travel.
3) Buy a set of 1" drop spindles (yes I know about the tie rod issue and bump steer but with 1", I'll be fine.
My thought is, the tall drop spindle is the best way to go since Ride tech is confident that he GW arms will work with their tall drops and will give me more camber gain but is this just a theory?
What I'm asking is, with my car with a low front end like most low Pro touring stances, my realistic wheel travel on the street under a hard compression is like 3" I'm guessing. with only three inches of wheel travel, Am I going to gain any more negative camber gain with the tall dropped spindle?
How does this work exactly in the real world.
Because if camber gain is so important to out old suspension geometry, I figure you'd want to do the G mod, tubular arms, and a Tall dropped spindle...
Please advise.
