Front adjustable sway bar

Picture
Our new front sway bar features sliding endlinks, which effectively change the lever arm length of the 1.25" diameter sway bar.  By changling the lever arm, the rate of the bar can be increased or decreased, resulting in a change in under/oversteer, or role rate.  Combine this with our adjustable rear bar, and you are ready to truelly dial in your handling.  This part is a must for serious handling. Includes heigm joint endlinks  $329 kit

Adjustable rear Sway Bar

Our rear sway bar features multiple endlink mounting points to change the stiffness or rate of the bar.  This is a great tuning device.  Includes HD strut bars.  Mounts in stock location.  (some early cars will need to weld an upper mount to the frame, late 2nd gens all have sway bar mounts)  This is a must have for tuning your suspension!
$299 kit as shown above

Comp Axle Pad/Locator

Picture
These are a must for any hard driven car.  These replace the spongy rubber leaf pads, and use a steel locator to ensure the rear end stays in place.  The kit includes thin rubber isolator pads to keep down suspension noise.  This kit is a must when using pinion angle shims (sold below) Adding pinion shims corrects your driveshaft angle that has been changed by lowering the car. Use this with delrin Shackle kit for best results!

Delrin Comp rear shackle kit- Must Have!

Picture
These bushing are made of Delrin for zero deflection and smooth bearing like movement. The heavy steel inner sleeve helps the shackles from moving side to side even further, and prevent the shackle from being over tightened.  reducing rear lateral movement helps the cars stability and makes handling much more precise and predictable. Kit also includes our HD adjustable shackles, which allow you to raise rear of car approx 1/2" if necessary.  For most applications we recommend using the delrin in the upper frame location, and rubber in the lower.

New Aluminum Type II pumps

These pumps are just what is needed for the rigors of todays performance.  Your old Saginaw pump just isn't up to the task of the stress of aggresive alignments and fast ration steering boxes.  These pumps are lighter by nearly 6 pounds, and also run cooler.  They come with either a billet aluminum V-belt or serpentine pulley. Pump will require bracket below, not included.  Integral composite reservoir included for a clean installation that runs cooler than a remote reservoir.   See below for picture of pump installed

GT Kit Spring Height installed

Picture
Standard GT spring kit will drop ride height 1.5-2" from stock, depending on year, model, and vehicle weight.  On early Camaros top of tire usually sits 1/2" from fender lip, with slight rake in front as pictured above.  Cars with tires wider than 255/45/17 may experience some minor rubbing.  Firebirds can usually run a slightly wider tire, due to the rounder wheel opening.  This spring will sit lower on big block and Pontiac motor cars,  late 2nd gens also may sit slightly lower due to their weight.  A typical measurement of our ride height can be take from the center of the wheel (hub) to the center of the wheel arch opening straight above.  Typical measurements will fall between 13.5-13.75" front, and 13.75-14" rear.


Picture
Type II Aluminum pump and block mounted bracket on small block Chevy.  Note Braided line used for pressure hose, we have those too, $30 in black or stainless braid, with AN fittings.  Return line we recommend AN to barb hose fittings, and low pressure line.  We can also make custom lines for your application
