69 Camaro Front Suspension

Douglas, he wants to know how much more shock travel you have not control arm to bump stop. As you lower the car you are also losing shock travel compression. You sure those aren't trailer tires up front?

LOL man---yes they are---and they are bias ply---

Ahhh, shock travel---well, If i compress the car the full 4 inches, I am not bottoming the shock out---upon extension--it appears to be approx the same-however, this is with the shock mounted to the bottom side of the LCA.

With the addition of the ATS line how does this sound

If your not worried about some welding we can combine the ATS Chicane upper coil over brackets, with a QA1 coilover (this keeps the cost down) add the upper and lower arms and a sway bar and you can have a great front set up that is a step up from the QA1 GMP coil over conversion kit. but not as far as the complete sub frame. very straight forward install if your a decent welder.
The next upgrade would be the ATS Tall spindles and either a rack and pinion conversion or 12:1 or 14:1 steering box??

When will the ATS Chincane brackets be ready?

BAD94,
Not to high jack another guys thread, but the ATS (Speedtech) Chicane brackets are already avalible and have been for some time. You can visit the Speedtech site or the ATS site and find them. If you go to Speedtech first, hit the link for the ATS site. Once there go to products and then suspension. You can find the brackets and the complete Chicane-LM kit. The only differences now are that the kit will most likely be supplied with Speedtech arms, as before they were supplied with GW arms. Also, as mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, they mentioned using QA1 shocks. Before the kits were supplied with either Bilstein or Penske. I would suggest you call Speedtech for more details, but according to the ATS site the brackets were avalible. As far as the kit, I would suppose they could sale you everything in it with exception to the adjustable sway bar (never knew if ATS got it to market) and the spindles, as the are normally on backorder.

we have brackets in stock, we cna set the collars up for QA1 shocks, if your wanting to use any other shock we need to know what ones so we can set up the collars and weld them.
delivery would be a week. depending on what other parts you want.
