Motor Trend 3rd Gen Camaro

The link is to #4 in the series however this latest release is showcasing the Speedtech front and rear suspensions. To me, it's mind blowing that this kind of stuff is being developed for our platform.
Like it or dislike, it worth a view.
Comments to follow...

Warning to those offended by the F word but Ford is also represented in the vid with a Fox body something or other.
Parts 1, 2 and 3 are out there as well.

The poor interior of that thirdgen. The inside of the Fox looks much nicer. Lots of neat parts under that thirdgen, some I hadn't seen before like the torque arm and transmission crossmember

That's what caught my attention. In particular the front "clip".
I've seen K-members and coil over conversions. Rack and pinion installations too. But nothing as involved as that Speedtech piece.
While I can't say for certain, I kind of think you could do the same with less for the rear end though. 9" retro-fits and modified torque arms are out there and plentiful.

Re: Motor Trend 3rd Gen Camaro

too bad they don't show the installation of the front suspension... i have been looking at this. the installation is fairly involved and would nice to see the actual install

Me too.
Having been involved with a chassis shop for many years, I can't see this being done in an effective manner without a layout table or frame jig. Going off of the floor with a tape measure and a lift is a little crude but I've seen it done albeit on a minor level such as with subframe connectors.
