Thanks for all the info. I'll plan to do something similiar as my winter project. Several times I have almost pulled the trigger on the DSE minitubs, but always had a problem with the notching the rear subframe thing. Most likely 275's Front and 315's Rear will be a pretty good balance, with minimum modifications to the car.

Let me know how your Rear 315's work out on the track.

Default Global West UPC's?
One more question: You don't have a problem with your wheels rubbing the Global West UPC's at full lock? My 18x9" wheels w/ 5 1/8" B.S. rub pretty bad on my Heidt's UPC's.

No rubbing issues except on frame rails loc-to-loc. 5.5" backspace works best. Is it possible to run a shorter ball joint and not hit UPC?

Yup, stock disk brake spindles out of a Chevelle. No Guldstrand mod.

More questions: I have been looking for the best taller spindle. (Almost all of the aftermarket taller spindle have a 2" drop built in.) How much taller is the Chevelle spindle than a stock Camaro spindle? What model Chevelle? Did you use the Camaro steering arm?

UPC = Upper control arm? I would think a shorter ball joint will mess w you WINNING geometry, right?
