Can the ride tech tall spindles be used with GW control arms and a chicane kit on a 1st gen camaro? Or do they require the ridetech control arms?

Should work fine.

Thanks for the info. I would like to go with the ATS spindle, its just out of my current budget and I already have Wilwood brakes that will fit the Ridetech spindle.

I'm interested in the Ridetech tall drop spindles myself. Do they have issues with the tie rods hitting the rim on wider wheels? What size wheels can you run? In the future, I'd like either 17x8 or 18x8 wheels, with 245/40 tires.

Stering arm interference will not be an issue with an A body if you are using a 17" rim or larger. [you might be OK with smaleer, but I have not checked that to be sure].
With the F body steering arm you will be limited to about a 17x8 wheel with a 5" backspace. With our tru turn system you can use up to an 18x10 wheel with a 5.75 backspace. You can also use SOME 17" wheels. I say SOME, because some of the less expensive cast offshore 17" wheels have too small of inside diameter to clear the tru turn steering arm.
