Re: camaro subframe vs drop axle an disc brake setup

I used a dropped axle, mono leafs on all 4 corners, upgraded by tie rod and ends, new drag link, bent the steering arm to avoid bump steer and installed a front disc brake kit on my 56 last year. In the end, the entire conversion cost me the same as an entire M2 set up, hub to hub, would have cost me. The only reason I chose to go dropped axle was for the nostalgic look and feel. I run manual steering with a stock 17" wheels and it steers quite easily so for me, power steering isn't an issue.
