With the detroit speed subframe -

Haven't driven it much or very hard yet but haven't noticed any rubbing yet.

Hate to bump this thing but what a roller coaster of a thread.

I have ATX Billet spindles, Speedtech Control arms and in the box is a set of C6 z06 brakes with Kore 3 brackets.

I ordered a Tru-Turn so when that arrives on Monday, I hope to install and start taking some measurements to get some wheels sized up. LS fest is only a few months away now.

Hopefully this works out

Thanks man. Have not ordered wheels yet and had been putting it off till the parts came in.

BigBronco - You went to UT and had a 4th gen F-body right? I think you and I went to the track once like 15 years ago and used to play Halo on Xbox if I remember correctly.

Hoping someone can chime in on TruTurn in 2020
I have a stock subframe, global west upper and lowers
stock spindle, AGR ps box, QA1 coilovers, 18x8.5 rushforths and 245 40 18s on it

i bought the car with all adjustments maxed out to make the car as low as possible....it rides like crap, rubs when i crank the wheel in both directions.
control arms basically on the bump stops

switching things around now...my goal is to just get the car as low as possible where everything is performing correctly and be able to make a proper 3 point turn or a U turn like a normal person lol


i like to lowered stance but realize the car will have to go up

Im hoping to add some global west shorter subframe bushings
replace the 350lbs springs with something stiffer

I am thinking of adding drop spindles, but then read about the TRUTURN

Im not looking to run a 275 tire...I just want to get the lowered stance and be able to turn on a 245 tire


is truturn what i need here or can I just but some drop spindles and call it a day?

thank you...Bob

A blast from the past but yep. Use to be on TRS and what not. Did not have a 4th gen though but was with all of the 4th gen crowd/ls1tech, etc.

Long time man!
