Its the black 68 RS, they are mocking up a rear wing and a front lower spoiler, for Spectre's R&D.

Steve,
I noticed in your photo, the watts is up one hole from where we had it before. It needs to be in the second hole up from the bottom.
Top trailing link of the 3 link was what we discussed on the phone, (at least that was what I was talking about, it was in the middle hole, but can be tried in the top hole, that's where OLC link is.

The third link can't run in the upper location. It jacks up the pinion angle and the bar can't get short enough to compensate.

I thought it was in the third hole up, not the second?

Here's a shot when it was at your shop:

Shoot me some info on the car to [email protected] and I will get it in the next issue of the magazine. I shot it when I was there for the f-body garage section

Info? what do you need. History or tech info? What magazine are you speaking of ?

How you got the car.. what you've done.. what want to do.. what you're having done at Fast Eddies. Like the stuff you would send in for a Readers Rides section of a magazine. A couple of paragraphs would be fine.

For Camaro Performers Magazine.. where I pretend to work. lol

Steve,
Here's a pic from when I relocated the shocks. The 2nd hole up was where the pivot was, we tried the 3rd hole before the rear bar was put on, then went back to the 2nd hole. 4th hole had fuel filter interference problems.

We have OLC on the 3rd hole and it works well, but you would need to soften the rear bar a little to compensate for the extra roll stiffness created by the higher rear roll center. Here's another pic of the rear axle at full bump and lean.

I guess you're right.. I will drop it down tomorrow when I'm re-installing the fuel cell.

Oh, we installed the new 275-lb rear springs (instead of 310). Should we leave the sway bar as is or move it back one notch stiffer like it was before Optima?

Hey Steve, PM sent to your email address. Thanks again.

Steve,
Leave the bar where it was, the spring rate change makes very little difference on balance compared to a sway bar.
I'd like to try the watts higher some time, but it will require softening the rear bar.
