Got upper control arm mounts made and car back down on its feet.Used the adjustable slugs in upper mounts like they use on stock cars to adjust roll center,worked out pretty good but man are those 4th gen Camaro uprights tall.Ron

Holy crap! What are your inner fenders going to look like? Are you going to graft in a 4th gen inner?

Looks good though!

I will probably build them out of aluminum,the tires are too big to use a factory wheelwell anyway

Wanted tires all the way out on the edge.Ended up cutting fenderwell lip completely out of new fender,bulging wheel opening about 3/4" in criticle areas for clearance.Then I formed a peice of 1/4"round bar to the shape of the wheel opening and welding it in place.Turned out real well,275/40-17's on 17x9.5 wheels,on the front!.Man those big meats look cool.Ron

The front tires are are 275/40-17's,and clear everything even when fully depressed,the subfame I made myself and I wanted nothing lower th 5",so it stayed at 5",I would amagine the rockers are at about 6",but I'll measure tomorrow.Ron
