Default New front subframe

I would like to put a new subframe under my 69 Camaro. But I want to use my stock tublular arms and suspension I have, Does anybody make this? I want to upgrade later but my funds are short. I want to run a bigger front tire on it. 18x9.5. Can anybody help me? Thanks Tommy

keep the stock subframe and use ridetech control arms and spindles.

what control arms do you have now? if you add the Ridetech tru-turn that will allow you to run the 9.5 rim you want, the tru-turn can work with many-many of the control arms on the market, I tested it with DSE, Global West, Hotchkis and those eBay arms and never had an issue, and at a 1000 bucks its WAAY! cheaper than a new subframe

There is NO subframe on the market that you can use your STOCK stamped control arms on.
they will physically bolt on to the Speedtech subframe, But the coil over shocks will not mount correctly to the lower arm and the upper arm will interfere with the coil over as well.
