Lateral-G and Pro-Touring.com are predominantly Camaro-based sites. Probably 90% of their content is devoted to those cars. There are lots of products for A-bodies out there but the majority of their owners are still "lost in the 60's" so the demand for protouring parts isn't as high,,yet.

Helpful Tip #1: Many stock-car guys still use chevelles, so look at places like AFCO and other dirt-track suppliers for affordable suspension parts.

Now that is cool. Don't know if $1800 would leave my pocket that easy. But still cool. There is stuff out there. It just takes digging and most of the time waiting. It's like the A-bodies are step children. Suspension parts aren't too hard to come by but it is true that Camaros get more stuff. And I am not even going to get into the BOP thing. Sheesck. This is where ingenuity comes into play.

That looks pretty cool, but the test really points out that it won't drastically lower the car. I wonder how low you can go with that setup...
