2nd Chance Camaro - Ride Tech Coil Over Rear Suspension Part I

2012 04-15 Update - Ride Tech Coil Over Rear Suspension Part I
www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Good Morning all,

For the rear suspension I upgraded to the Ride-Tech Coil Over set up. However we've added a few new
parts that Ride-Tech offers. First is there offset lower link bar and offset spring mount which gives you an
extra 3/4" of tire room. There will be plenty of room to fit the BFG 295 (12.5" wide) and most 315's.



There new Coil overs - what else do I need to say.



Very Simple Install.



Okay Plan B
Yes I am changing things just a little. I am going to remove the factory spring perch and install Ride Tech's
new weld on lower bracket. I think they are going to clean up the area. The plan is to move the arm over
another 1/2 which will allow me to fit the BFG 335. It will also allow me to fit the Michelin 345 which is an 1"
narrower then the BFG 335.

Before I bring the car to High Speed Welding I am going to cut off the spring perch's off the axle.





In order to get it back to High Speed Welding I used some of my extra parts. This cool little part came from
DSE. Originally I was going to keep the leaf springs but since they wouldn't sell me the front spring pocket
parts I needed that idea was soon scrapped. I made a quick call to Ride-Tech and purchased there
complete rear kit. So if anyone needs these brackets there just sitting on a shelf at my shop.

Priced to sell cheap !!!





Ready for Transport






Here are the new brackets from Ride Tech. They are really going to clean up the area.

Here is what the bracket looks like when it is removed.



I need to thank a couple people here.

Mario from US Collision for letting me borrow his 345 Michelin tire and Chris at JCG Customs www.jcgcustoms.com for letting me borrow his 3 finger wheel tool. The 345 fit perfectly after this very simple modification.





The new Ride Tech lower bracket installed. Much cleaner look and no more ugly u-bolts.



Joe has also been working on the Edelbrock modified exhaust. He made a couple modifications to the floor pan to get the exhaust above the site line under the car. I am very happy with the progress of the exhaust so far.





All done and ready to roll.

Marty,

Simple is good!

Sorry for asking if you've already posted this, but what are you using for lateral control (panhard bar, watts, etc.)?

It's a Diagonal 4 Bar so no need for an addtional bar.
