Will the system work with staggered shocks on the first and second Camaros?

I have not had an opportunity yet to physically install one, however I see no reason why it would not given how compact the design is.

I admittedly am not a Camaro expert by any means, but would be more than happy to provide any dimension you need to verify clearances. If you choose to take me up on this, please reference any requested measurement starting from either the outer or inner side of your axle tube brake flange.

I assume it is shock to caliper clearance concern?

Thank you for your interest!

Jay

Just a few pics of this kit in action on the open road course at the last Midwest Musclecar Challenge.







Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any questions!

Yes,The caliper shock clearance is the issue with these cars.The later second gen firebirds had rear disc brakes and the factory staggered the calipers.Can the caliper bracket be flipped to one side or the other with your system?

Yes, they can be used on either side. To accomplish what you are suggesting would take "two passenger side Adaptors" (assuming your driver side shock is on the back side of the axle tube. If not then "two driver side Adaptors"

I would be very surprised though if my standard configuration would not clear. Obviously has a little to do with what caliper choice you make to.

Please PM me your phone number and we will resolve this quickly.
