Switching to 1LE B4C brakes and suspension....do I need anything else??
Switching to 1LE B4C brakes and suspension....do I need anything else??
Well, I have an 84 Camaro Sport Coupe and a 92 1LE B4C Camaro. The 92 looks like it sits a lot lower, and my 84 is much nicer, so I want to swap over the suspension (and the brakes while I'm at it too). I'm putting the 92 disc brake rear end in as well. Do I need anything else besides this:
Brakes
-Front calipers, steering knuckles, rotors, rear end, master cylinder, proportioning valve
Suspension
-Front struts/springs, rear shocks/springs
Am I forgetting anything? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would never molest an original B4C car. It might be better to keep the B4C car original. Then get the 1LE stuff and put it on the '84.

Hmmmm.... trash and destroy an irreplaceable classic 92 car worth $6000 sight unseen, to fix a $1500 84 base-model POS that's as common as dirt...
I'm not going to tell you what to do, after all they are your cars, but it sounds to me like you're going the wrong direction here. You need to sell the 84 and use the money to straighten out the B4C.
You're taking a pair of cars worth a combined total of maybe $8000 and turning it into a combined total of maybe $2500. Not smart at all, unless the B4C is wrecked beyond repair.

I agree with some of the other posts. I'd leave the '84 alone, mint or not. This is just a base model Camaro, correct? What engine is in it?
An H.O. car I could understand, but not a base model car. I don't see the point in souping up the suspension on it.
If the '92 B4C car is trashed then I'd consinder parting it out OR scoring an 88+ Z28 or IROC and putting the 1LE goodies on that. I'm not sure what your situation is, but it's something to consider.

just about EVERYTHING that got bolted to a 1LE/B4C had a different part number ... a- frames , gas tank , rear , trans , motor , ALL the rubber is harder material , etc etc etc ,,,,,,
I'll trade you a complete 1LE brake setup and cash for your
92

The 92 is a POS. No, it's not TOTALLY beyond repair, but I really want this stuff on my 84 which only has around 70K miles. My 84 is worth a lot more than $2000. I've invested a lot of time and money into it and it's absolutely gorgeous. Everything I've done is in my sig. You can see it's worth a lot more than $2000. Besides, nobody's going to pay $6000 for a car with faded paint and rust? Hardly anybody besides the people on this board would actually know what is included in the B4C 1LE package. Thanks for the input.

Okay, I didn't pay attention to your sig. info. the first time around. You've got the '84 pretty souped up. Based on that, definitely swap the 1LE suspension over.
