You can buy your coil overs and panhard bar separate if that helps with the funds. I know it did with me.

paintman5851 · 07-10-2012, 10:33 PM

heres a pic of mine.its a 79 camaro with a 55 panel frame.im confused as to how it would sit lower with the subframe under the original frame versus even like i think mine is,it sits fairly level with a mild rake.i really like it,i did do a spring over in the back but i actually thought the front would sit lower

Kim57 · 07-10-2012, 11:10 PM

When we say even we are talking about the subframe being installed even with the original frame like this (Picture from 56chevy1300 build page).

His truck is bagged so his truck is slammed.

Yes your is lower that his would be because you installed your clip with the bottom of the camaro clip even with the bottom of the trucks frame which give you the kick up which in turn lower your stance. Its virtually the same thing I did when I installed a Nova clip on my buddy's ride.

By way your panel truck is looking great.

flamed48 · 03-15-2013, 08:16 PM

are the 47-54 chevy frames the same width as the 55-59 chevy frames?

Indian113 · 03-15-2013, 09:24 PM

NO,they are narrower. I have done a clip on a 53-but I used a Nova front steer as they have a narrower wheel base than a rear steer camaro. I also used positive offfset front wheels. 15x6 wit a 4 inch backspacing
