Babyblueoval,

I know on the OLD the AUX Nates gonna run a set of narrower arms up front to help out a little bit with the rubbing while driving low.

Keith,

Are we gonna get to see this thing in Scottsdale? Looks great in the pics but I know it would looks even better in person

GVizzle,
I'll be running the C4 version so it's different for me. I was just wondering how it was for the normal kit.

Keith,
you mentioned earlier about your turning radius not being that great. That's anouther thing I forgot about. The C4 stuff doesn't have that issue....

calvin78612 · 10-12-2011, 10:32 PM

Yep !

Very true........but if the shockwaves don't lift the body above the tire, your turning radius is going to be limited by the body. I beleive you said that your running a 275x45 on the front which is 1.75 inches taller than my tire, what shockwaves are you running and how much lift do they have?

67chevy1series · 10-12-2011, 10:47 PM

so how are you liking the 67? i bet theres alot of thumbs up head turns and stuff? is it driving like you expected?

Post 1099 sums up the driving/ride......I don't know about the heads turning or thumbs up because I'm to busy listen for stuff that might fall off!

The shockwaves have 6" of lift but I believe Nate set up my dropmember to ride slightly higher that normal. He said I'd have no problems "at ride hieght, which is 6"" with rubbing. I'll be running the Coy's C5's in 20x8 with 5.5" backspacing all around. I asked Nate numerous times about clearance issues and he said there would be none.........

The block is POR15 (never again) and everything above it is base coat/ clear coat. The exhaust was high temp coated.

I should have clarified, I will never try to "spray" POR15 again. It was a mess and I should have just painted the whole motor with auto paint like I always have done but I wanted to try something different.

nevets · 10-13-2011, 05:22 PM

just found this site and following your thread, I have a 1969 GMC, 6 lug juice brake that i am converting to 5 lug disk brake. I really like the new camaro SS wheels, but was wondering if they will fit on the 1969 5 lug rotors. anyone done this??

ccreddell · 10-13-2011, 06:30 PM

Easiest way to do that is to get a C5 Dropmember-it has the correct bolt pattern. Then run either a GM car rear end or go with with a Vette rear end.
