1967 Stock Car Chevelle - Lateral-g Forums

eddiesbrother · #1 07-21-2014, 08:02 PM

Hey Lat G! i was just wondering if anyone has any more information on this chevelle above. all i could find was this (http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicl...u/viewall.html) article from back in the day. according to the article, the suspension is comprised of Bilstein coilovers. All i could find are these (http://www.bilsteinus.com/products/s...aluminum-body/) Unfortunately, i dont think this would fit my 1967 chevelle.

im definitely looking to emulate this road race style with mine (current picture below)

i have so many questions and concerns as to how i would go about doing this. primarily, this coilover option. im really looking for the adjustablilty, but if that cannot be achieved i will look into the bilstein shocks with a high performance spring, like afco. i just dont know what kind of spring rates i should be looking for. i am looking to take this into canyons so id really like this to be a solid corner carver. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated

That first one reminds me of one of Neil Bonnett's old Chevelle racecars. I have some friends from church that used to co-own a car dealership with him and they had one of his old Chevelles from when he was up and coming.

BTW, yours is quite nice. I like the CCW's.

I was curious also about the pro touring shock from JRI (http://www.jrishocks.com/shop/street...ouring-shocks/)
Are these similar to a coilover set up?

Are the bilstein b6 HD shocks suitable? What spring's would be acceptable for this type of shock?

what kind of spring rate is recommended for my application?fronts?rears? It's a daily driver but I'm looking to take it to the canyons every now and again, and with enough work and time some road course racing, and I'm looking for faster corner entering speeds

Any coil/spring brands anybody would recommend taking a look at?

Are tubular control arms initially necessary? Will I be able to mount an aftermarket shock(JRI/bilstein/etc) to the factory box arms? I'm looking to swap for aftermarket control arm's eventually, I would like to know if it's required from the get-go. Any recommended control arms?

Any recommended sway bars?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
