On the rears if you are running the Camaro rear end 60", wheel mount to wheel mount, you need 4.25 back spacing... that took some time and effort to figure out!!!
I'm going with a Ford 9 inch so it wasn't important to me, but I bought some one inch spacers and my wheels fit perfectly! Also the stock tires are 27 inches tall so I did tubular control arms with 1 1/2 inch shorter springs and 2 inch drop spindles.
Are the spindles and springs installed in these pics ? I am also trying to deciide how low to splice the camaro clip in relayion to ride height. Do you have a pic of your frame at the splice ? Thanks for your pics and comments , they are very much appreciated .
