You`ll get the same or better geometry gains as the Cat5 but direct fit,no changing the center link etc. to adapt a taller spindle from another car etc. The ATS spindles also drop the car about an inch and with no change in track width. You`ll save a lot of weight too, the forged aluminum spindles weight about 3lbs.ea.
We combine them with adj. tubular upper arms in our Street Comp AFX packages to allow quick and easy alignment to any performance specs. Use GW DelALums in the lower arms and their springs are fine,as are DSE,Hotchkis. You`ll probably want to shoot for entry level race rates and a good set of adj. shocks to match them. I`d suggest Varishock QS1s over QA1s for their much more consistant settings and better durabilty. If you want to go all out (and have deep pockets) ATS just unveiled a new coilover package at SEMA with fully adj. remote reservoir Penskes! Mark SC&C
Well, I have an engine that will be between 550-600 hp na. I just need to make my car can handle it. I don't want to go through and totally measure up my car and adapt racing components. I would rather use proven components that are already engineered for my Camaro. The ATS, and GW cat5 are in my budget range right now. I'm waiting(if they read my email) for the guys at ATS to throw a package together for me, so I can compare a complete setup against the GW cat 5. I would like to put a rack on instead of the steering box and the modified steering link that the GW cat5 uses though.
