Guys,
Where can I find 3rd gen pan hard relocation brackets for sale. I'm having a 8,8 ford reagent built for my 85 camaro and wanted to add them. Thanks

Here is the Jegs link if anyone searches this.

I can't fing the UMI ones.

Seems you need the axle side the most.

This one isn't going to work for us.
1) it only does one end, both ends need to be dropped
2) the adjustment holes preclude installing a brace from the bracket to the axle, which is absolutely necessary. FWIW I have never felt the need to adjust the height.
3) from Jegs ad copy "Can be easily bolted on, although welding is reccomended for safety." IOW bolted on is not safe.

Get them here instead: http://unbalancedengineering.com/Camaro/ For $165 you will get all the parts needed, and if you really want to be able to adjust them, some fabrication would allow that. I'm pretty sure Jon A has a write up here on Frrax on how he did it.

My drivers side is higher than my passenger side, I am only looking to level the bar.

I will brace it like John A did his on Corner Carvers.

$165 is STEEP for those brackets.

That's what you think until you drive a car with a lowered rear roll center. $165 may sound expensive, but it's some of the best money I've spent other then putting in a 3-link.

TJ is not the first person to recommend lowering the roll center, and I'm not the second:

It transforms the car, $165 for those brackets is the best bang for the buck that exists for these cars.
