Exclamation Looking for Budnik wheels and suspension information for my build!!!!

Hello all, I am new to this forum thing but im hoping to get some good info here to help me with my build....I am in the process of building a 68 r/s camaro pro touring style, I have already done the mini tubs, shaved the firewall and marker lights (trying to decide if I want to shave the door handles), have installed the heidts front subframe with tubular control arms and coil overs....

I need some recommendations for rear suspension, also need to know who has the best price on budnik wheels....I REALLY like the budnik trigs, and I need either 17x11 or 18x11 rear with a 5.25 backspace, and 17x8 front with a 4 7/8 backspace....Can any one recommend which wheel/tire combination gives the best stance, maybe some pictures ??? Please help me out if you can!!
Thanks, Rob

Call Frank at Prodigy Customs. He can help you with all of your suspension needs. Last time I checked on Budnik wheels, Noel at Touring Classics had the best price. One word of caution, Budnik has an 8 week lead-time from what I hear.

Default Suspension recommendations

Thanks for the info on the wheels, I did forget to ask about rear suspension...can anyone give some recommendations, this will be a street driven (mabye 1500 to 2000 miles a year)..pro-touring style car, not sure which way to go ...I was told that a 4-link is more for racing, I have been looking at the g-bar set up, but I am listening to recommendations....so please tell me your opinions...Thanks, Rob
