Old School 70-81 Camaro of Firebird, Take the spindles off an Impala Wagon using a corvette rotor so you can use your current wheels and you get a set of larger brakes. Lowering Kit, Take the front rear spring pocket and drill a hole an inch higher, you will need to trim out the top of the hanger to give the spring eye room. This is how it wss done when you couldn't toss a catalog at your car.

@Petey1378 3 года назад

The one thing that they don't tell you to do when you add sub frame connectors. Is that you need to add a new whole to replace the tow point that's covered by the frame connectors.

@Petey1378 3 года назад

@Adrian O Agreed. But I'm thinking of when it brakes down an it has to be towed. They cover the rear tow points and don't make new ones.

@Inspirational68 3 года назад

I enjoy each video you guys put out. I am in the process of upgrading to rear discs and I see from your last video that you mounted the driver's side caliper outboard, which will hit the shock. In this video, I did not see that the shock mounting location has been moved. How did you overcome the issue with the rear calipers hitting the shock, in this case from your video, on the driver's side if I am looking at what was done correctly?

@fastwalker21 3 года назад

The HR-2 mineral based oil is not compatible with catalytic converters because of the amount of ZDDP in it... Make the CAT’S removable for inspection and fabricate some test pipes or a non-Cat Y pipe. But, OK if it will be a garage queen...

Probably because of varying exhaust emission laws throughout the country,plus this system has dual cats unlike the original had one cat and was really restrictive.
