Hey guys, here’s the idea. I have a 1982 Camaro Berlinetta LG4. She has a 383 small block and a turbo 350 transmission and puts out 424 hp. This is what I’m looking for. I’m looking for a suspension that will drop the car and still be able to have 275/60/15s back. I‘m talking about shacks, springs, bars’, everything. I need something that will have almost no underster and be able to plant all that power to the ground. The tire combo I want to use are 15/8 back and 15/6 front. Big thing!! NO BODY ROLL. I know all that’s going to cost a lot but I want to try and keep the cost down. Can you help?

 

youll definately need some sfc's homemade or some spohn's definately cheaper to build your own if you have materials and equipment to do it , adjustable torque arm homemade or aftermarket , you may want to look at the KYB AGX adjustable shocks in the back replacement moog replacement springs and boxed lower control arms, a good rollbar will always stiffen things up. but as far as dropping it with those tires i dont think it is gonna happen. hope this helps some.

well if the tires wont work that whats a little smaller than 275/60/15. i want the same with but not the heith

 

255/60/15 should work pretty well.

 

mine's 1 coils worth lower than stock with 275/60/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials. v6 springs with 1 coil cut off(white one)


just fyi: a 15x8/15x6 wheel size combo is NOT going to handle well, no matter how you setup the suspension.

 

but wont that scrub unless you massage the fender wells or have stiff springs?

 

well of course you massage the inner fender wells! you gotta make some sacrifices! i've got v6 springs all the way around on my car, so no, you don't need stiff springs.

 

just making sure for outlawracer so he gets the right imfo thats all.

 

edit:
what you need to go straight on a budget:
lca relocation brackets
v6 springs
take the front sway bar off
box factory lca's and put in poly bushings
box factory panhard rod and put in poly bushings
poly bushing on the stock torque arm
subframe connectors
rear sway bar from an iroc or ws6 packaged t/a.(your berli didn't come with one in the rear, it's important that you put this in to control body roll during launch)
some sticky tires

what you need to turn on a budget:
some good sway bars from either an iroc or ws6 packaged t/a. (your berli didn't come with a rear, so it's important that you put that one on to control body roll during turns so it doesn't try to overstear.)
good shocks
iroc springs or good replacement lowering springs
subframe connectors
box factory lca's and put in poly bushings
box factory panhard rod and put in poly bushings
poly bushings in the stock torque arm
lca relocation brackets
strut tower brace
wonder bar
some stiffer sidewall tires and a 16-18" wheel...the 275/60/15's will have to go.

edited for content pertaining to thread...i'd like you to do the same.

If you want no body roll-
not possible
